Information
If the upper trailing arm is to be used again, mark its position with respect to the body -arrows- using a felt-tip pen for example (assembly aid).
Marking upper trailing arm
- Production seams on the trailing arm can serve as the marking (useful when replacing the trailing arm).
- Apply a different marking on the body.
- Threaded joints can no longer be adjusted once the work is done as the threaded joints are no longer accessible.
