Installing front spring strut
Information: If assembly work was performed or parts replaced that affect the vehicle height, a complete wheel alignment is necessary.
1. Install in reverse order. Before installing, do a visual check on the parts. Replace brake caliper fastening screws.
2. Do not grease threaded connections in Dacromet finish - aluminum color. Observe correct tightening torques.
3. Place the spring-strut/wheel-carrier assembly into the vehicle. Note installation position of the spring-strut mount. The arrow markings must point
to the outer side of the vehicle. The shock-absorber piston rod is thereby shifted outwards. Use new lock nuts. Before tightening the lock nuts,
align spring-strut mount in accordance with the applied marking (position of the three collar nuts).
