Caution:

Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in major
service expense. New fasteners must be installed 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 make sure of proper retention
of these parts.
