CAUTION: When installing outer C/V joint into the
hub and bearing assembly, do not allow the flinger

Grasp steering knuckle with other hand and rotate it

CAUTION: The strut assembly to steering knuckle
bolts are serrated where they go through strut
assembly and steering knuckle. When installing
bolts, turn nuts onto bolts. DO NOT TURN BOLTS
IN STEERING KNUCKLE. If bolts are turned, dam-
age to steering knuckle will result.
