WARNING! 
     
Do not re-use any fasteners that are worn or 
deformed in normal use. 
     Some fasteners are designed to be used only 
once, and are unreliable and may fail if used 
a second time. This includes, but is not 
limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and 
cotter pins. Always follow the 
recommendations in this manual-replace 
these fasteners with new parts where 
indicated, and any other time it is deemed 
necessary by inspection. 
     
CAUTION! 
     
Bonded rubber bushings can only be turned 
to a limited extent. The bolted connection 
between the wheel bearing housing to lower 
control arm and the connection between the 
shock absorber to lower control arm must 
only be tightened when the vehicle is 
standing on the ground. Otherwise the 
bonded rubber bushings will be subjected to 
a torsional stress resulting in shortened 
service life 
     
-  Install in reverse order of removal.
