Steering: Service Precautions

CAUTIONS:
- If any steering components are replaced or serviced an alignment must be performed, to ensure the vehicle meets all alignment specifications.

- Components attached with a nut and cotter pin must be torqued to specification. Then if the slot in the nut does not line up with the cotter pin hole, tighten nut until it is aligned. Never loosen the nut to align the cotter pin hole.

NOTES:
- Periodic lubrication of the steering system components is required.

- When servicing the steering linkage, use care to avoid damaging ball stud seals. Use Remover MB-991113, or equivalent to remove outer tie rod ends.
