Front A-arm brackets installation
WARNING
1.
The vehicle must be
immobilized
and the
engine turned off
and cooled.
2.
Always wear
safety glasses
during installation, adjustment or repair.
3.
Please read and ensure you
have understood the warnings
and guidelines.
4.
Make sure the vehicle is
safely secured in place
by a system dedicated to this use (jack stands and hoist) and that it is supported or
fixed on locations that are not likely to break, bend or slip. A hydraulic jack is not safe; nor is a log. The vehicle must be not able to move.
The installation requires that the vehicle is in two-wheel drive
mode with the gearbox in neutral. After lifting the vehicle and
removing the wheels:
1) Remove the universal joint guard. Keep the parts for later
reinstallation.
2) Insert the M12-1.75 x 65-mm carriage bolt
G
in the hole
identified by a label on the a-arm bracket
01
. See
figure 2.
In the packaging, this bolt is mounted on the rod end
M
of the front anti-rotation arm.
3) Lean the A-arm bracket
01
under the front lower A-arm
taking care that the A-arm tubes are firmly pressed down
on the half-moon brackets of the A-arm bracket.
4) Fix the A-arm bracket to the suspension arm using the
front clamping plate
02
, the M12-1.75 x 60-mm carriage
bolt
03
, the M12 flat washer
05
and the M12-1.75 nylon
nut
04
.
5) Ensure that the a-arm bracket is well positioned in the
brackets and tighten all nuts in place.
WARNING
1.
Do not overtorque the bolts. Some parts may be subject to deformation. If the bolts are too tight, some safety aspects could be
compromised.
2.
Be careful: an incorrectly positioned A-arm bracket could give some play, which could make driving riskier as well as lead to breakage to
the vehicle, a loss of control and serious injuries.
