INSTALLATION

NOTE: make sure the plastic protective washer (A) is in place on the lower balljoint pin.

Refit:

  • the arm,
  • the two bolts, without tightening them,
  • the balljoint pin into the steering knuckle and tighten the key nut.

Refit the anti-roll bar and install the mounting nuts; to do this, use tool Sus. 1414 (see anti-roll bar procedure).

This tool compresses the flexible bushing so that the nut can be installed.
