Push the rubber buffers and the inner nuts over the tie-rods. Put the spring canister in position and push the rear tie-rod through the rear support bracket, the front tie-rod and through the slot in the front support bracket.
ATTENTION! The AV marking on the spring canister should be facing the front of the car after it is fitted. (AV=Avant=Front)
Push the tubular sections with threaded ends through the support brackets, then through the hexagonal nuts and the rubber buffers into the spring canister. Using the nuts, the spring canister should be adjusted, so it is locked between the rubber buffers fairly tight. Itand can still be turned by hand. Make sure that the distances L1 and L2 at the front and the back of the spring canister are about the same.
Lock the nuts with a torque of 180 Newton metres (the equivalent of 133 lb/ft)
Install the gaiters by pushing them over the end of the threaded tubular section. If needed, they can be locked using a tie wrap. Turn the end pieces onto the tie-rods so they are covered for at least 15 millimetres. Every Burton is adjusted to a lower riding height than the 2CV as a rule. In order to assure that the tie-rod is screwed in far enough into the end piece, longer end pieces may be needed, which can be supplied by the Burton Car Company.
If you adjust the riding height as described in this manual, only the two rear end pieces need to be replaced. If you like to lower the car even further, you need to replace the two end pieces at the front as well.
Always make sure that the end pieces cover the tie-rods by at least 15 millimetres .Be aware that these tie-rods, under normal operating conditions, encounter a pulling force of 1000 kilograms (more than 2000 pounds!) |
