Correct the front articulation angle (1)
For inclination angle correction at the engine crossmember or at the rear engine mount, mount shop-made shims. A 1 mm shim changes the
articulation angle by approx. 0.17 degrees.
The bolt length should be increased by 5 mm when using shims with a thickness of >2 mm.
If a shim with thickness of >5 mm is required, the front and rear engine mounts must be checked for signs of settling or wear and replaced if necessary.
