PRECAUTIONSNJSU0024+When installing each rubber part, final tightening must be
carried out under unladen condition* with tires on ground.
Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushes. Be sure to wipe
off any spilled oil.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
+Use flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake
tubes.
+After installing removed suspension parts, check wheel
alignment.
+Do not jack up at the trailing arm and lateral link.
+Always torque brake lines when installing.
+Lock nuts are unreusable parts; always use new ones.
When replacing, do not wipe the oil off of the new lock nut
before tightening.
