Removing and installing support plate
Information
Important notes about the support plate
Remove and install the support plate -A- only under the following conditions.
Support plate
All wheels must be lifted (freely suspended).
Always lift the vehicle at the specified jacking points with the lifting platform set up evenly. (Align lifting arms evenly to avoid distortion.)
Suspension alignment is not necessary if the support plate -A- is removed and installed under these conditions. In the worst case, the rear-axle
wheel alignment values may change slightly. This could cause a slight change in the steering wheel position from that prior to removal when
driving straight ahead.
