NOTE: Use 4 new M14 screws. Lubricate the screw threads.

NOTE: When the sub-frame is raised, ensure that the screws for the steering gear locate in the frame. RHD cars: Also align the collision protection system which is positioned between the steering gear and frame.

Begin the installation of the sub-frame on the right-hand side.

Use the mobile jack to lift the frame towards the bodywork until the frame is approximately 10 cm from the bodywork.
