mance of vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be
replaced with one of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes nec-
essary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be
used as specified during reassembly to assure proper retention of this part.
• Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any front suspension part. Replace it with a new part or
damage to the part may result.
• For descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Manual
