Front axle components,

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!
Do not attempt to weld or straighten the load-
bearing components or parts of the
suspension.
Do not attempt to move a vehicle from which
the drive axle has been removed. Otherwise
wheel bearing damage will result. If the
vehicle does have to be moved, install an
outer CV joint in place of the drive axle and
tighten to 50 Nm (37 ft lb).
