6. NOTICE: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure may result in major service expense. New parts must be installed with the same part number or equivalent part, if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts.

NOTICE: Use care when releasing the lower arm and knuckle into the resting position or damage to the ball joint seal or CV (Constant Velocity) boot may occur.

NOTE: Use the hex holding feature to prevent the stud from turning while removing the nut.

Remove and discard the lower ball joint nut.
