Steering Linkage: Description

All steering component fasteners are made of special quality materials. Replacement fasteners must be of same part number or equivalent. DO NOT  weld, heat or bend steering linkage to repair or straighten. Torque all fasteners to specification and install new cotter pins.

When installing cotter pins, DO NOT  back off castellated nuts to align cotter pin hole, tighten nut to lower specified torque; then tighten nut to next slot that lines up with stud hole. DO NOT  hammer on ball studs or damage to threads may result. Threads should be clean and lightly lubricated with oil before being tightened.
