Steering Link Rod Fasteners

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 10‑849838) 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.
