SUBJECT: RIGHT REAR UNDER BODY SQUEAK (LUBRICATE CABLE/MAY NEED TO REPLACE CABLE)
MODELS AFFECTED: 1988-90 REGALS
This bulletin is being reissued to include the illustration that is mentioned in second paragraph.
Some 1988-90 Regals may experience a squeaking type noise from the right rear of the vehicle. This condition may be caused by the right rear park brake cable moving through the grommet in the metal cable support bracket.
To eliminate this noise, first make sure the metal bracket is not distorted and the grommet is properly installed, and then lubricate the cable with a good high - low temperature grease where it passes through the grommet (See Illustration).
On 1989 Regals built on or before VIN # K1453289, replace the cable with a new style cable, P/N 10137374. After replacement the cable must be properly readjusted per the service manual. This new cable should also be greased.
Part is currently available from GMSPO.
