If an axle strut with an adjustable caster eccentric is being installed, refer to Installing caster eccentric .
When installing the control arm, make sure that the control arm fastening screw (E) is tightened only in vehicle position. Vehicle position means: Vehicle must be standing on its wheels, or the wheel suspension is lifted with a universal lift until the markings line up (arrow).
