NOTICE: 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 of correct
retention of these parts.
NOTICE: Orientation of the suspension fasteners is important. Make sure the fasteners are installed in the same direction as they were in when
removed, or incorrect clamp load and component damage may occur.
1. Remove the wheel and tire.
