suspension attachments with regard to
performance and safety of vehicle, these must

specified during reassembly for proper
retention of the parts. The replacement parts
should be of the same quality as of the
designed parts.

new parts. Welding, straightening or any other
form of repairing should not be attempted.
4. Care should be taken while handling spring
loaded suspension components.
