FRONT END ROLL DURING HARD CORNERING - 1968 Corvette w/RPO L88
(#963) (T.N.)
It has come to our attention that the base production 327 type front stabilizer shaft could have been installed on some L88 equipped Corvettes built before 5-2-68. This installation can result in a reduction of front roll stiffness which may be noticeable to the more astute driver. In the event of a complaint of this nature, the front stabilizer shaft diameter should be measured. If the shaft measures 3/4" diameter instead of 15/16" diameter, then the following parts should be installed:
QUANTITY PART NO. NAME
1 3831972 Front Stabilizer Shaft (15/16" diameter)

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.
