Ball joint taper must be free of grease.
Counter with a screwdriver 9546 when tightening the lock nuts on the ball joint of the trailing arm.

- Installation is carried out in reverse order.
- When installing the trailing arm, make sure that the fastening screw on the trailing arm -5-
is tightened only in vehicle position!
Vehicle position means: vehicle must be standing on its wheels, or wheel suspension is lifted with a universal lift until the two markings line up (not on the GT3).
On the 911 Turbo, fit the spoiler at the diagonal arm (air guide for the brake cooling system) -1- .
