SUBJECT: FRONT WHEELHOUSE SPLASH SHIELD CONTACTING STEERING TIE ROD IN STEERING AND WHEEL JOUNCE MOTIONS
MODELS AFFECTED: 1984 SKYHAWK
WHEELHOUSE SPLASH SHIELD:
A snapping noise may occur on some 1984 Skyhawks during steering or wheel jounce motions, especially during cold weather.
This condition may be caused by contact between the front wheelhouse splash shield and the steering tie rod, and can be corrected by enlarging the splash shield opening by approximately 15 mm (9/16 inch) around its entire circumference, using a knife or shears.
