8. 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: To avoid premature wear, position the drag link outer tie-rod end so it is parallel with the wheel knuckle before tightening the outer tie-rod
end nut.
NOTE: When repairing the 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.

Check and, if necessary, align the front end.
