Installing

WARNING!

Do not re-use any fasteners that are worn or
deformed in normal use.
Some fasteners are designed to be used only
once, and are unreliable and may fail if used
a second time. This includes, but is not
limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and
cotter pins. Always follow the
recommendations in this manual-replace
these fasteners with new parts where
indicated, and any other time it is deemed
necessary by inspection.

CAUTION!

Bonded rubber bushings can only be turned
to a limited extent. The bolted connection
between the wheel bearing housing to lower
control arm and the connection between the
shock absorber to lower control arm must
only be tightened when the vehicle is
standing on the ground. Otherwise the
bonded rubber bushings will be subjected to
a torsional stress resulting in shortened
service life

- Install in reverse order of removal.
