screws (2) per corner. Torque to 9 Y
(80 lb inch).
Caution
Failure to reattach the wheel speed
sensor harness clips correctly could cause
interference with the wheel speed sensor,
and could damage the vehicle. 9. Re-attach the wheel speed sensor
harness clips by pushing them from the
bottom up, on the back tab. On the
original deflector, the push pins are
pushed from the top down.
10. Install the tall deflectors with three screws (1) per corner. Torque to 3.3 Y
(29 lb inch).
When installing new control arms,

{Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
cause wheel nuts to become loose
over time. The wheel could come off
and cause a crash. When changing a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, a cloth
or paper towel can be used; however,
use a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the center of the wheel
hub with wheel bearing grease after a
wheel change or tire rotation to prevent
corrosion or rust build-up.
{Warning
Do not apply grease to the wheel
mounting surface, wheel conical
seats, or the wheel nuts or bolts.
Grease applied to these areas could
cause a wheel to become loose or
come off, resulting in a crash.

Factors, such as maintenance, temperatures,
driving speeds, vehicle loading, and road
conditions affect the wear rate of the tires.
Treadwear indicators are one way to tell
when it is time for new tires. Treadwear
indicators appear when the tires have only
