Installing
Carry out installation in the reverse sequence, noting the follow‐

ing:
Threaded connection for trailing arm and wheel bearing housing

may be tightened only after all other components (particularly the

spring and shock absorber) of respective wheel suspension have

been installed. To tighten, wheel suspension must be in extended

position. Only then do trailing arm and wheel bearing housing

move to the necessary position -arrows-.
– Install coil spring

– Bolt coupling rod -1- to wheel bearing housing and anti-roll bar.
The threaded connections on the wheel bearing housing may be

tightened only when the dimension measured between the centre

of wheel hub and lower edge of wheel housing before work was

started has been attained
