Note

Ensure that a plate/washer is installed between the track rod, up‐

per control arm, shock absorber and wheel bearing housing

respectively.

Position: threaded connection between trailing arm and wheel

bearing housing
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
