Information

PDCC chassis:

- Steel flexi-pipes are particularly sensitive to kinking and crushing.

- Treat the steel flexi-pipes with great care when removing, storing and reinstalling the anti-roll bar.

- Make sure that the steel flexi-pipes are not subject to any mechanical loads during the following operations.

- When removing, mark the installation position of the lines using a touch-up stick.

- When installing, make sure that the clamp is seated correctly.

- The steel flexi-pipes must not be twisted when installed under any circumstances.

Information

- The pictures shown in this document may differ from the original.

- However, this does not affect the validity and relevance of the pictures.

1. Mark the installation position -arrow- of the anti-roll-bar mount halves with respect to the anti-roll bar with a paint marker.

Information

The anti-roll bar halves can turn following removal and hydraulic fluid will leak out.

- Close the openings in the anti-roll bar using suitable plugs or screw plugs.

3. Remove the union nuts -9- on the two lines at the rear valve block. Use a container to collect emerging fluid and close off the lines using suitable stoppers.

Information

- All screws and bolts on the axle must be tightened in vehicle position. Vehicle position means: vehicle standing on its wheels, or the wheel suspension is raised with a universal vehicle lift. Dimension -X- , from lower edge of wing to centre of axle corresponds to vehicle position. For the current height values, please refer to the adjustment values for suspension alignment -> 4495TW Adjustment values for suspension alignment 4495TW Adjustment values for suspension alignment.





Dimension X - lower edge of wing to centre of axle (shown as an example)

- Visually inspect all parts.

- Replace self-locking nuts.

- Replace all expansion screws (screws fitted using torque angle tightening procedure).

- Use correct tightening torques and torque angle. -> 4X00IN Tightening torques for rear axle 4X00IN Tightening torques for rear axle

4. Fit the anti-roll bar and insert the four fastening screws evenly in vehicle position and tighten hand-tight.
5. Fit the fastening nuts for the anti-roll bar at the connecting links and tighten hand-tight.
6. Clip the two lines for the rear valve block into the brackets.

8. Position the cover on the rear valve block.
9. Tighten the two fastening screws -8- on the valve block cover to => Tightening torque: 9 Nm (6.5 ftlb.).

10. Tighten the fastening screws and fastening nuts for the anti-roll bar and connecting links to the specified tightening torques -> 4X00IN Tightening torques for rear axle 4X00IN Tightening torques for rear axle.
11. Following assembly, check carefully once again that the steel flexi-pipes are not twisted! The toothed rings -arrows- must be positioned on the steel flexi-pipes in such a way that they provide adequate protection in the event of contact with adjacent components.
