- ONLY FRAME CONTACT HOISTING EQUIPMENT CAN BE USED ON THIS VEHICLE. All vehicles have a fully independent rear suspension. The vehicles can not be hoisted using equipment designed to lift a vehicle by the rear axle. If this type of hoisting equipment is used, damage to rear suspension components will occur.





- At no time when servicing a vehicle, can a sheet metal screw, bolt or other metal fastener be installed in the shock tower to take the place of an original plastic clip. Also, NO holes can be drilled into the front shock tower in the area shown, for the installation of any metal fasteners into the shock tower.
