E
ach bolt, nut and screw on your vehicle is a vital cog that keeps your vehicle FMC.
Some are more critical than others, but each one has a job to do.
Bolts are a lot like dominoes lined up in a
row. Knock one domino over and it strikes the
next in line.
..then the next and the next until
they all fall down.
A similar chain reaction happens when a bolt
fails. More stress is put on the bolts around it.
Another fails and another until your vehicle is
stopped dead in its tracks.
A piece of equipment breaks down every
day because of a bolt somebody overlooked.
Don’t let that somebody be
you!
Check
all
bolts for shiny spots or corrosion
around the head or nut. If a bolt is covered
with dirt or grease, wipe it off. If a bolt is hard
to reach or see, crawl under your vehicle with
a flashlight and check it out up close.

Loose Hardware is No Game
it takes a
good eye and
a little time
to keep your
vehicle’s
hardware
right and
tight.
but it’s
well
worth
the
investment.
hey!
what was
that?!
if only they’d
taken the time
to check me
for loose
hardware!
