PRECAUTIONS

PFP:00001

Caution

EES00147

●

Final tightening of bushings must be carried out under unladen condition with tires on the ground. Oil will

shorten life of bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.

●

“Unladen condition” means that fuel, coolant and lubricant are full and ready for drive. However, spare tire,
jack, and hand tools should be unloaded.

●

After installing the removed suspension parts, always check wheel alignment and adjust if necessary.

●

Replace the caulking nut with a new one. Install a new nut without wiping the oil off before tightening.
