Notes (Aluminum Suspension Components)
Due to the chemical and corrosion characteristics of aluminum, always comply with the following points when handling aluminum components:
^ Do not bring into contact with battery acid!
^ Do not clean with wire brushes with brass or iron bristles! Only use brushes with stainless steel bristles!
^ Do not expose to flying sparks from grinding/cutting operations! Cover components!
^ Do not subject to steel welding splashes! Cover components!
^ Do not expose to temperatures > 80°C, even for short periods! Temperatures in painting facilities are not a problem.
