· Fit the shock absorber studs to the side of the chassis.
· First, put the thick washer onto the shock absorber stud with its sheered side towards the chassis, then the shock absorber, followed by the thin washer and the locking nut.
· Attention!! On the front shock absorber mounting brackets, both left and right, the thick washers are not used.
· Make sure, that the shock absorbers have been fitted correctly. The so-called LIP type has a little painted dot as a fitting mark, which should be located at the top. See the picture for details.
· If you are using different shock absorbers, be sure to check the installation guidelines carefully.
· Tighten the nuts using a 35 to 40 Nm torque (=26 to 30 lb/ft)
ATTENTION!! It is possible to inadvertently switch the two front mounting brackets. Make sure these brackets are fitted as shown on the picture. Doing it the other way will severely limit the shock absorbers movement, resulting in premature shock absorber failure. |
