– Tighten nuts -arrows-.

Note

♦

Tighten the nuts -arrows- in curb weight position. Refer to

⇒ “3.8.1 Wheel Bearing in Curb Weight, Lifting Vehicles with

Coil Spring, Front Axle”, page 6

♦

Make sure the ball joint boot is not damaged or twisted.

♦

The level control system sensor lever must point toward vehi‐

cle exterior.

♦

The thread on the vehicle level sensor must be installed into

the exterior hole in the control arm. The tab on the vehicle level

sensor bracket must lock into the inner hole in order to assure

a correct installation position.

– Install the wheel and tighten.
– Tighten drive axle bolt onto the wheel hub. Refer to

⇒ “6.4 Drive Axle Threaded Connection, Loosening and Tight‐

ening”, page 101

Note

Vehicle must not be standing on its wheels when doing this, oth‐

erwise wheel bearing will be damaged.

– For vehicles with a level control system sensor, perform the

basic setting for the wheel damping electronics using the

⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester.
