Removal and Installation
CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure may
result in major service expense. New parts must be installed with the same part numbers or 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 make sure
correct retention of these parts.
