Adjusting the vehicle level by changing the springs or spring rubber mounts - AR40.20-P-0300-01B

Models 170, 202 as of 01/96, 208, 210 

Changing the height "a" of the rubber mount changes the vehicle level by approx. 7 mm. (ca. 1 °) 5 (front axle) or 4 (rear axle) rubber mounts are available for this

• 1 lug (n) = Height of rubber mount "a" of 5 mm
• 2 lugs (n) = Height of rubber mount "a" of 9 mm
• 3 lugs (n) = Height of rubber mount "a" of 13 mm
• 4 lugs (n) = Height of rubber mount "a" of 17 mm
• 5 lugs (n) = Height of rubber mount "a" of 21 mm (front axle only)

  

  If the level cannot be adjusted with the rubber mounts, the assignment between the spring rubber mounts and vehicle model must be determined once more using the microfilm.
