At the start of the series, the rear nut -arrow- was welded to the longitudinal member.
Therefore, if the thread is damaged, the nut must be repaired as explained on page → Chapter.
A bolt M14 x 1.5 x 95 must be used for this nut!

The nut is no longer welded. Therefore, there is a surface on the collar for the spanner -arrow-. It was used up to vehicle identification number 7M-T-9697.
This nut can be replaced if the thread is damaged.
