Note | t
| For those vehicles fitted with dual-function xenon headlights, before beginning the removal of elements affecting the rear left hand side suspension, the connector for the vehicle level sender must be released, located on the front left hand side suspension, depending upon versions → Electric system; Rep. gr. 94 . |

| To verify the height off the ground, „the vehicle must be empty“, the fuel tank must be filled to at least 3/4 of its total capacity, the spare wheel must be in place along with the vehicle tools and jack. |
| t
| With the clearance off the ground at the level -a-, tolerances remain well under the maximum torsion torque of the bonded rubber bush, thus preserving their working life. |
| t
| The line 0 is parallel to the floor. Set the vehicle on a flat area. Dimension -0- must be the same height on both sides, so that the clearance and the steering geometry can be checked. |
| t
| The ground clearance must be checked before beginning the removal of the strut or of elements connected to the suspension. It is necessary to differentiate between new and already used wheel suspension, dimension-a-. |
