CHASSIS SERVICE
MANUAL
This vehicle contains some parts dimensioned in the m etric
system as w ell as in the custom ary system. Some fasteners
are m etric and are very dose in dimension to fam iliar cus­
tom ary fasteners in the inch system. It is im portant to note
that, during any vehicle m aintenance procedures, replace­
m ent fasteners m ust have the same measurem ents and
strength as those removed, w hether m etric or customary.
(Numbers on the heads of m etric bolts and on surfaces of
m etric nuts indicate their strength. Customary bolts use ra­
dial lines for this purpose, while m ost customary nuts do not
have strength markings.) M ism atched or incorrect fasteners
can result in vehicle damage or malfunction, or possibly per­
sonal injury. Therefore, fasteners rem oved from the vehicle
should be saved for re-use in the same locations whenever
possible. Where the fasteners are not satisfactory for re-use,
care should be taken to select a replacement that matches
the original. For information and assistance, see your au­
thorized dealer.
