NOTICE: Suspension fasteners are critical parts that affect performance of vital components and systems. Failure of these fasteners may result in major service expense. Use the same or equivalent parts if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Tighten fasteners as specified.

Installation

1. NOTE: Make sure to use washers that have an ID that is larger than the OD of the wheel stud serrations. Use enough washers (approximately 3 to 4) to allow the wheel stud to fully seat against the hub flange.

   • Tighten the wheel nut until the stud is seated against the hub flange.
     
   • Discard the nut.
