Suspension Fastener Replacement

Suspension fasteners are important retaining parts in that they could affect performance of vital components and systems and / or could result in major service expense. They must be replaced with fasteners of the same part number, or with an equivalent part, if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used, as specified, during assembly to ensure proper retention of parts. New fasteners must be used whenever old fasteners are loosened or removed and when new component parts are installed
