FRONT END ALIGNMENT
The following " Notice" applies to one or more steps in the assembly procedure of components in this portion of
the manual as indicated at appropriate locations by the terminology: " NOTICE" : See 'Notice' on page 3A-1 on this
section."
NOTICE: Front end alignment fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the perform­
ance of vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one
of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replace­
ment part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly
to assure proper retention of all parts.
