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.
