Rear axle, servicing (front-
wheel-drive vehicles) WARNING!
CAUTION!
If using power tools (pneumatic or electric), do
not tighten the bolted connections more than
hand-tight. Otherwise, the specified tightening
torques could be exceeded.
Do not attempt to weld and/or straighten the
axle beam.
Do not re-use 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 recommendations
in this manual-replace these fasteners with
new parts where indicated, and any other
time it is deemed necessary by inspection.
