Hi all.

In reading Bentley, my "view" was limited to looking for the "always
replace" warning for lock nuts. (i.e. steering rack)

I now see the universal warning on the next page, P40.2a

My apologies if I came off sounding like I was debating or challenging
any of the helpful information offered. My black and white thinking
can be an asset and a hinderance.      ;)

FWIW, the new nut(s) is oval shaped.

Neil.
