Do not reuse self-locking nuts.
They are designed to be used
only once and may fail if reused.
Always replace them with new
locking nuts.
Do not install bolts and nuts
coated with undercoating wax,
as correct tightening torque
cannot be assured. Always
clean the threads with solvent
before installation, or install
new parts.
Do not attempt to weld or
straighten any steering
components. Always replace
damaged parts.
Note:
The airbag system is traditionally
referred to as Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS). The BMW version of
SRS used in 1999 to 2001 E46 models
is known as the Multiple Restraint
System (MRS II).
