APPLICATION: 1993 Chevrolet and Pontiac "F" Cars
This update is to identify a change to the front side door lock striker bolt/screw torque specification. In the 1993 F-car Service Manuals, Section 10-6, the torque specification was published at 24 N.m (18 lb.ft.). The revised torque specification is now 34 N.m (25 lb.ft.). Please note this in your Service Manual.
General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
