PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
CautionsNES000G0
When installing rubber bushings, final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
Unladen conditions means that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, tighten as they are.
