Preliminary work and notes on assembly

• If the vibration damper is to be replaced, set the height adjusting nut −2− to the same position as on
the old vibration damper (transfer the actual dimension A to the new vibration damper)! To do this, a
hook wrench insert Sonderwerkzeug 9647 is required.
• Tightening torque of the lock nuts −1+3− = 50 Nm (37 ftlb.)!
• The stabilizer mating bearing (mounting saddle) −4− need not be adjusted for street use!
• The hook wrench Sonderwerkzeug 9647 is required for changing the vehicle height (dimension A)
and for adjusting the stabilizer mating bearing (dimension B). The special tool is used together with a
torque wrench to tighten the lock nuts (slotted nuts) on the spring struts.
