NOTE:
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
IMPORTANT:
The brake hose must not be twisted. Make sure the brake hose is not in contact with any suspension component.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the brake hose does not make contact with any part of the suspension or the tire/wheel assembly. If the brake hose makes contact remove the brake hose and correct the condition.
