Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to
be of top quality and work well together
if
the vehicle is
to
have really good
braking. Vehicles we design and test have top-quality
GM
brake parts
in
them,
as
your vehicle does when
it
is new. When you replace parts of your
braking system
-
for example, when your brake linings wear down and
you
have to have new ones put
in
-
be
sure
you get new genuine
GM
replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no longer work properly.
For
example,
if
someone puts
in
brake linings that are wrong for your
vehicle, the balance between your front and rear brakes can change
-
for
the worse. The braking performance you’ve come to expect can change
in
many other ways if someone puts
in
the wrong replacement brake parts.
Front Shock Absorbers
The front shock absorbers of your vehicle
do
many things. They help the
vehicle ride smoothly and also control the travel of the suspension system.
When the shock absorbers are serviced, any replacement shock absorbers
must be the same
as
the original equipment shock absorbers
in
both
extended length and strength.
I
NOTICE:
If
you
use shock absorbers that are not the same as the original
shock absorbers, the shock absorbers or suspension system
could be damaged.
Windshield Wiper Blade Inserts
To
replace your
windshield wiper
blade inserts, lift the
wiper arm and rotate
the blade until
it
is
facing away from
the
windshield.
Unlatch the end of the insert from the holding clips. Remove the insert
and
slide a new one
in
place. Make sure the blade
is
secured
in
the clips.
