Raise the front of the car.
Remove the front wheels.

Installation
Raise and install the front suspension beam.
Secure the steering tips to the front strut.
Insert the box bracket into the beam and tighten to 40 Nm.
Secure the beam to the bottom (see fig.D-0041). Bolt tightening torques:
- bolts 1:115 Nm;
- bolts 2: 170 Nm;
- bolts 4: 115 Nm (only in all-wheel drive vehicles);
- bolts 3: 100 Nm and then tighten another 75°.
After tightening, tighten all bolts another 15°.
Attention! To ensure the accuracy of the angular tightening, it is advisable to make a mark on the bottom with chalk, or even better - use an angular disk (for example, Hazet 6690).
