    Information 

    PDCC chassis:

    • Steel flexi-pipes are particularly sensitive to kinking and crushing. 
    • Treat the steel flexi-pipes with great care when securing the anti-roll bar. 
    • Make sure that the steel flexi-pipes are not subject to any mechanical loads during the following operations. 
  5. Tie anti-roll bar -1-  to the body using a suitable piece of wire -2-  to prevent any load on the steel flexi-pipes.
