Shortening the overhang (U
min
)
If it is necessary to reduce the rear overhang of the vehicle, the last closing cross-
member or end crossbar should not be removed under any circumstances. It must
be relocated in the new position by attaching it on the chassis frame in the same
way as it was installed in the original position.
At most, the end crossbar can be moved forward until it is at a distance of at least
350 mm (Umin) to the crossbar supporting the rear anchor point of the suspensions.
Otherwise, there would not be enough space for the installation of the coupling de
-
vice. This will also prevent the new setting from affecting the free functioning of
suspensions and stabiliser bars.
Table 1-44 LCV_SPBGC42_003 Minimum overhang (U
min
≥ 350 mm)
CAUTION
The crossbar that supports the rear anchor point of the suspensions must not be
moved under any circumstances. This could cause the failure of various vehicle
systems.
