Wheels - Wire Wheel Cover Noise

Number 85-3-2 Date 12/84
Subject: WIRE WHEEL COVER NOISE 1982-85 MODELS

Wire Wheel Cover Assembly:




Some wire wheel covers may have a snapping or creaking noise when driving at low speeds. This noise may be caused by the wheel cover flexing on the wheel. This condition can be corrected by removing the wheel covers and placing them upside down on a covered bench. Then center punch and drill four (4) 1/4" holes evenly spaced in the wheel cover. See Illustration. Holes should be drilled on the second step of the cover from the inboard side. Install the four (4) nylon clips, part number 411700 in the drilled holes.
