Suspension: Service Precautions

CAUTION:
^ All suspension fasteners are important attaching parts because they could affect the performance of vital parts and systems and could result in major service expense. Any part must be replaced with one of the same part number or with an exact equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during assembly to maintain proper retention of this part.
^ Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any suspension part. Replace with a new part.
