During the new vehicle preparation, the
dealership is required to remove these shock stuffers. Since
this is a new procedure for the dealer and it's not required
on any other Chevrolet vehicle, many technicians are not
aware of this procedure and cars have been delivered to
customers with the shock stuffers still in place. Failure to
remove these shock stuffers will result in poor ride
quality.
The shock stuffers are placed by the factory
under the dust cover of each of the car's four shocks.
Removal of these stuffers requires jacking the car so the
suspension can hang (or on a lift), pushing up the dust
covers and removal of the stuffers. A yellow tag may be
noticed protruding from the shock dust covers if they are
still in place |
