Steering Linkage

CAUTION:
- Steering linkage fasteners are important parts because they could affect the performance of vital components and systems and could result in major service expense. They must be replaced with the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Specified torque values must be used during reassembly to maintain proper retention of these parts.
- NEVER straighten bent linkage, use new parts.
