Repair Procedure For Threaded Bush Without Collar

Information 

Do not move the vehicle until after the prescribed curing time specified for the threaded bush.

Information 

Once the end position is reached, the threaded bush must be loaded immediately in the screw direction and the thread lock must harden in this state.

Two options are available for this:

• Screw on component immediately.
• By tightening the setting tool finger-tight. Do not unscrew the setting tool until the curing time has elapsed.
