Preliminary Work And Notes On Assembly

NOTE:

Observe the correct allocation (running gear version) when installing new springs and/or dampers!
It is recommended to replace the coil springs only in pairs!
If the coil springs are exchanged, it might be necessary to use a different spring plate than before!

The following spring plates (compensation parts) are available:
