Periodically, the vehicle should be inspected for loose
fasteners. Fasteners should be tightened in accordance
with the Torque Specifications table (Ref Fig. 33 on page
- 24).
Use care when tightening fasteners and refer to the
Technician’s Repair and Service Manual for specific
torque values.
Generally, three grades of hardware are used in the vehi-
cle. Grade 5 hardware can be identified by the three
marks on the hexagonal head and grade 8 hardware is
identified by 6 marks on the head. Unmarked hardware is
Grade 2 (Ref Fig. 33 on page - 24).
