The engine sub-frame can be easily aligned with
the bodywork by positioning the two
approximately 100 mm long threaded rods into
the two front mountings of the body sub-frame .
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Tighten the sub-frame mounting bolts to a torque
of :
•6 daN.m at the front,
•11 daN.m at the rear.
If the vehicle has manual steering, position the
shock absorber mountings into the holes (A), and
into holes (B) for power assisted steering.
