11. CAUTION: Make sure that the nut retainer cap is correctly positioned to allow for cotter pin installation. Do not tighten or loosen the nut to align
the retainer cap with the cotter pin hole. Overtightening of the fasteners may result in premature failure of steering linkage components.
NOTE: When repairing the steering linkage clean the steering linkage damper shaft of all corrosion and dirt. Buff the damper shaft smooth.
Repairing the linkage changes the damper travel slightly. A dirty/corroded shaft can damage the damper seal and create a leak.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
