Tensioner 9995659 is used when working with the suspension. It is vital that the screwed joints for the rubber bushings are tightened in the normal position (in the same position as when the car is on the ground and has three people in the car and a full fuel tank).

The tensioner relieves the pressure on the components in the suspension when removing / installing. The tool is secured to the rear axle with mounting 9995740 . This means that the lift stability is not affected during work.
