The bolts of the strut support must be tightened on the existing mark.
Assembly is carried out in reverse order.
After assembly, the position of the steering wheel must be checked during a test drive.
If the steering wheel is misaligned, the convergence of the front axle must be checked and, if necessary, adjusted!
  Note
t  After fitting the connecting rods, check that the rubber bellows are not twisted.
