1. Since all suspension fasteners are critical in
suspension attachments with regard to
performance and safety of vehicle, these must
be replaced with same part number in case of
replacement.

specified during reassembly for proper
retention of the parts. The replacement parts
should be of the same quality as of the
designed parts.
3. Damaged parts should be replaced only with
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.
5. The rubber bushes are not interchangeable;
hence care should be taken to avoid incorrect
