Suspension Precautions

Do not attempt to weld and/or straighten the axle beam.
Do not re-use fasteners that are worn or deformed in normal use.
Some fasteners are designed to be used only once, and are unreliable and may fail if used a second time. This includes, but is not limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and cotter pins. Always follow recommendations in this manual-replace these fasteners with new parts where indicated, and any other time it is deemed necessary by inspection.
If using power tools (pneumatic or electric), do not tighten the bolted connections more than hand-tight. Otherwise, the specified tightening torques could be exceeded.
