CAUTION: Increased risk of accidents if the wheel carrier is raised improperly!

→ When raising the suspension, use a suitable intermediate layer (hard rubber).

→ Do not damage the brake cover plate.

NOTE:
  • The entire threaded joints of the axle must be tightened in vehicle position. Vehicle position means: vehicle standing on the wheels, or the wheel suspension is being raised with a universal vehicle lift. Dimension -X-  , from lower edge of wing to middle of axle 506 mm ±10 mm corresponds to vehicle position. See Fig 2.
  • Use an intermediate layer (hard rubber). Do not damage the brake cover plate. 
  • Screws are Dacromet-coated and must not be greased. 
  • Grease the toothing of the drive shaft slightly with aluminum paste Optimoly TA. 
  • Grease axle nut with a little Optimoly TA aluminum paste only at mounting-face ring. 
  • Drive shafts must not be left hanging from the joint stop. Support wheel carriers. 
  • Use new screws and fastening nuts. 
  • Use a new circlip on the Quickfit. 
  • Make sure the bevel pinions from the ball joints are clean. Clean with a lint-free cloth as necessary. Do not use cleaning agent. 
  • Observe correct tightening torques.

1. Insert the drive shaft into the wheel hub. If the shaft cannot be pushed right in, use assembly fixture T10206  to pull the drive shaft in. Screw on the axle nuts in order to prevent the shaft from slipping out. See Fig 2.

2. Insert the wheel bearing housing (second worker required).

3. Fit the control arms, the spring strut and the brake calliper.

4. Fit the drive shaft on the halfshaft flange.

5. Mount the Quickfit. Make sure that the circlip is sealed and seated well and that the end of the cable engages audibly.

6. Plug in the plug connections. Ensure correct routing.
