To do so, use suitably long screws -2- (approx. 20 millimetres longer than standard screws) .
Get a second mechanic to help perform this step.
- 3.3. Tighten screws uniformly. Make sure that the anti-roll-bar mount is not twisted.
The opening of the anti-roll-bar mount -arrow- must rest against the rear axle cross member.

- 3.5. Repeat steps on the other side (fit the second mount).
