Fastener Usage: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Magnum and 2005 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Use of an incorrect fastener may result in component damage or personal injury.
Fasteners and torque specifications references in this Service Information are identified in metric and SAE format.
During any maintenance or repair procedures, it is important to salvage all fasteners (nuts, bolts, etc.) for reassembly. If the fastener is not salvageable, a fastener of equivalent specification must be used.
Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using a Helicoil®. Follow the vehicle or Helicoil® recommendations for application and repair procedures.
