Steering Link Rod Fasteners

IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering
cables to the engine must be fastened using special washer head
bolt (P/N 10‑849838) and self‑locking nylon insert locknuts (P/N
11‑826709113). Never replace locknuts with common nuts
(non‑locking) as they will work loose/vibrate off freeing link rod to
disengage.
