Steering and Drive Shaft Boots

1. Aluminum wheels need special attention. If salt or chemicals have adhered to the wheels, they need to be rinsed off as soon as possible. After cleaning the wheels, apply a coating of wax to prevent corrosion.
2. When cleaning the vehicle with steam, do not apply steam directly onto the aluminum wheels.
- Clean the hub surface.
- After finger tightening the wheel nuts, tighten them to specifications.
- Do not use an impact wrench or push on the wrench with your foot to tighten the wheel nuts.
- Do not apply oil to the threaded portions.
