It is the ultimate buyers responsibility to have all bolts/nuts checked for tightness after the first 500 miles and then every
1000 miles. Wheel alignment steering system, suspension and driveline systems must be inspected by a qualified pro-
fessional mechanic at least every 3000 miles.
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
1. Check and recheck all fasteners for proper torque. Check to ensure there is adequate clearance between all rotat-
ing, mobile, fixed and heated members. Check clearance between upper control arm and sidewall of tire for proper
clearance. Check steering for interference and proper working order. Test brake system.
2. Perform steering sweep. Cycle the steering from full turn to full turn to check for clearance. Failure to perform in-
spections may result in component failure.
3. Re torque all fasteners after 500 miles. Visually inspect components and re torque fasteners during routine vehicle
service.
4. Adjust headlights to proper settings given increased vehicle height.
