CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are
critical parts because they affect performance of
vital components and systems and their failure
can result in major service expense. A new part
with the same part number or an equivalent part
must be installed, if installation is necessary. Do
not use a part of lesser quality or substitute
design. Torque values must be used as specified
during reassembly to make sure of correct
retention of these parts.
