Installation guide: best practices

BE SAFE AND SECURE
 

Performing a complete, high-quality repair also means avoiding injury.  Follow these best practices to help stay safe during every step of the job.  If you’re not a professional, take your vehicle to a trusted garage, where they will have the right tools and knowledge to complete the repair.

• Use appropriate personal protective equipment for each procedure (boots, gloves, goggles, etc.).
• Always follow the instructions in the manufacturer’s repair manual.
• Pay particular attention to parts that have identifying marks and mounting positions.
• Use the right tool for each operation.

• Use conventional wrenches or pneumatic guns only to loosen or align nuts or screws – never for tightening!
• Adhere to the manufacturer’s torque specifications for each component. Final tightening must be applied using a torque wrench.
• Following component installation, always align the steering before returning the vehicle to the end user.
