Preliminary Work And Notes On Assembly
- If the vibration damper is to be replaced, set the height-adjusting nut -12-
to the same position as on the old vibration damper (copy the actual dimension -A-
to the new vibration damper).
A special tool hook wrench 9647 is required for this purpose.
Tightening torque for lock nut -11- = 50 Nm (37 ftlb.).
The special tool hook wrench 9647 is required for changing the vehicle height (dimension A) and for setting dimension B.
The hook wrench 9647 is used together with a torque wrench to tighten the lock nuts (grooved nuts) -11- on the spring strut. Tightening torque: 50 Nm (37 ftlb.).
The adjustment dimension -B- for installation (position of spring strut in wheel carrier) is 196 mm (plus/minus 1.0 mm). Determine the actual dimension -B- and set the required value -B- if necessary.
