When working on suspension components, ensure that the surfaces of all aluminum parts do not receive any scratches, cracks or notches.
Otherwise, the service life of the parts can be reduced.
Do not tighten bolts and nuts on the suspension components until the vehicle is in ready-to-drive condition, to ensure that the parts are not tensioned.
If, during repair, it is determined that suspension parts have damage caused by improper handling or forceful impacts, neighboring parts or component parts situated within the functional scope must be assessed separately.
