Almost a year and a half after I started, I am finally to the point where I have the time to put my rebuilt front suspension on my SV. Good thing too, as the car needs to be inspected in June and I doubt the current bushings will pass again. I have been reading up on all previous discussions and making notes, so hopefully I won't have too many questions. However, something in the WSM has me scratching my head right off the bat and I don't think I have ever seen this discussed here before. Under Removing and Refitting Front Suspension (Section F, pages 11-12), it says:
Huh?
When fitting a replacement crossmember cut off the engine tie rod bracket from the rear edge of the crossmember adjacent to the rear end of the right-hand bottom fulcrum pin, the flexible hose support bracket must not be confused with the tie-rod bracket; paint the bare metal.
Huh?
