Steering Link Rod Fasteners (if equipped)

IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the
engine must be fastened using a special washer head bolt ("a" ‑ Part Number
10‑856680) and self‑locking nylon insert locknuts ("c" and "d" ‑ Part Number
11‑826709113). These locknuts must never be replaced with common nuts
(nonlocking) as they will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to
disengage.
