Model and Year: ALL K10 - K30
TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS


On the models above, the rear axle is narrower by three
(3) inches than the front. Due to stack up of parts, the rear axle may set off to one side or the other (K10 up to 1-3/4 inches, left or right), (K30 up to 2-1/4 inches left or right).

This condition will not cause abnormal tire wear (as tires are parallel front to rear) nor will it affect handling.
