WARNING: All vehicles are equipped with gas pressurized shock absorbers which will extend unassisted. Do not apply heat or flame to the
shock absorbers during removal or component servicing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect the performance of vital components and their failure can result in major
service expense. They must be replaced with the same part number or an equivalent part if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement part of
lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to ensure proper retention of these parts. Orientation of
the fasteners is also important on all suspension arms. Make sure the fasteners are installed in the same direction as when removed.
