IMPORTANT The measuring set is designed in such a way, that the measuring bolts, according to the measuring points at the vehicle, can be screwed together out of mounting bolts, extensions and measuring tips/bolts.

The configuration of the measuring bolts is shown in the table, where the digits in the column headed "Measuring bolt configuration" are the special tool end numbers.

For example: 02/08/10 = 168 589 07 63 02  (support stud)

168 589 07 63 08  (extension)

168 589 07 63 10  (measuring tip)
