Shock Absorber System: Specifications (page 2 of 2)

If removed, place the engine bay cross brace, complete with mounts, in position.

Caution
Ensure the brake flex hose is not over stretched.

1. Install the spring and damper unit. Do not torque bolts.

The engine bay cross brace mount must be torqued with the weight of the vehicle on the roadwheels.

2. Install the upper suspension arm. Do not torque.
3. Connect the ABS sensor wiring harness plug.
4. Install the road wheels (Refer to 'Road Wheel Nut Torque Tightening', page 4-5-7).

Caution
Final tightening of the suspension components must be carried out with the full weight of the vehicle on its road wheels. Failure to do this will over stress the suspension bushes when the suspension is deflected to max. upward travel.

5. Torque the suspension fixings with the vehicle at normal ride height:

• Upper suspension arm to the front structure - 115 Nm.
• Spring and damper bolts to (top) 22.5 Nm. (bottom) 175 Nm.

The engine bay cross brace must be torqued with the weight of the vehicle on the roadwheels.
