Supporting mount assembly
6. Place spring strut supporting mount assembly onto the piston rod so that the end of the coil spring is located inside the spring plate.

place the lug of the stop plate (in area of spring strut mount) in the groove of the piston rod (twist lock of piston rod opposite the supporting
mount). Make sure that the plastic part of the bearing sits correctly in the recess of the supporting mount -arrows-.

supporting mount.
Stop plate position (PASM only)
The value: 45° + - 2° is necessary so that the two grooves of the stop plate (cut-outs for countering) are positioned over or between the recesses
(pockets in the rubber part) which lie below.
