Repair and Diagnosis: Service Precautions
CAUTION:- Damage to the suspension or steering linkage system components can occur when positioning the hoist adapters. The front adapter pads should be positioned carefully to ensure maximum contact under the center of the lower suspension arms or spring supports as near the wheels as practical. The rear suspension hoist adapters (forks) should be placed under the spring mounting pads or the rear axle housing tubes, but the adapters must not interfere with the shock absorber mounting brackets or the stabilizer bar mounting brackets.
- When raising a vehicle on a twin post hoist, care should be taken to position the vehicle so that the hoisting adapters (forks) do not damage the axle housing cover or contact the rear stabilizer bar or brackets.
- For correct wrecker towing procedures, refer to the vehicle Owner Guide. Incorrect towing of a vehicle can result in transmission damage. Always follow the outlined towing procedures.
