Installation
When installing the middle arm, keep the following in mind:
(Information taken from the website: www.opelbook.ru)
Do not allow rubber bushings and associated parts to come into contact with any lubricant.
Tighten the center arm mounting bolts and nuts after lowering the vehicle onto its wheels under normal load, which will ensure the correct preload of the bushings. Both bolts and both nuts have the same tightening torque.
The middle lever is installed as follows:
1. Connect the lever to the bridge and chassis and insert the bolts. Note that the bracket on the lever points to the right side of the vehicle.
2. Secure the ABS sensor cable plug and holder to the chassis and the sensor cable to the center arm. The tightening torque of the mounting bolts is 26 Nm.
3. Lower the vehicle onto its wheels and tighten both lever connections to 165 Nm.
Replacing the bushings of the middle and longitudinal suspension arms
To replace, old bushings are pressed out and new ones are pressed in. It is recommended to take the levers to a car repair shop to have the bushings replaced.
