SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION:

REMINDER: Customer satisfaction and retention starts with performing quality repairs.

These new crossmember bolts have a revised (HIGHER) torque specification of 110 Nm (81.1 ft. lbs.). Otherwise, the Service Procedure for their replacement remains unchanged. Always refer to the applicable Service Manual and review the full requirements of the repair being performed. The Service Manual procedures contain information critical to performing an effective repair the first time and every time. This includes but is not limited to: important SAFETY precautions, proper inspection criteria, necessary special tools, required processes and related one-time-use parts needed for a complete and lasting repair.

IMPORTANT: While the old design and new design bolts may be used in combination, due to the differences in torque requirements, when replacement is necessary, it is recommended to ensure all 4 bolts being used are the same type in order to eliminate having a mix of both with their different torque requirements during the installation process.
