Risk of damage to chassis components

If the front-axle carrier, steering gear or front-axle support is not fitted correctly, never lower the vehicle onto its wheels!
Supporting the vehicle on the front-axle carrier or on the front-axle support (e.g. using a jack) is not permitted!
If the vehicle needs to be moved, the front-axle support must be installed beforehand using the old bolts and square nuts and must then be tightened to the specified torque without additional torque angle.
