Carpet - Front Seat Chucking Condition

Number: 85-182

Section: 10

Date: FEB., 1986
Subject: FRONT SEAT CHUCKING CONDITION


Model and Year: 1985 SPECTRUM


TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS


CONDITION:

Some 1985 Spectrums with VIN numbers prior to 444391 may exhibit a chucking condition of the front seat. This condition can be due to the carpet being trapped between the seat mounting and the floor. This can cause a loss of retaining torque at the seat adjuster attachment nuts (2).

CORRECTION:

1. Remove (or sufficiently loosen) the seat adjuster nuts - see Page 10-34, Figure 10-72, Item 1 in 1985 Spectrum Shop Manual.

2. Remove carpet from underneath seat adjuster in area of attachment. Cut away excess carpet material.

3. Reinstall attaching nuts and torque to specification.


Use applicable labor operation numbers and labor time.
