Raise the sub-frame so that it remains approx. 150 mm before reaching the side member.
Secure the servo line with the rubber clamp in the front on the top of the frame. Fit the screw loosely.
NOTE:
When the sub-frame is raised, make sure that the spring strut ball joint pin aligns in the link arm.
Install:
- the new screws and the support bracket at the back
- the bracket screws loosely.
Tighten the sub-frame screws to light contact.
Remove the mobile jack.
