Hi All,

I would like to ask for some help to see how straitght forward this is. My car is coming back to normal ride height being to low previously.
Before doing the final adjustments, I just wanted to double check if there is a best practice to fix the center bolts (no 2).

Can someone explain what 8043117 tool is.

Thank you in advance, Peter

In practice any tool which puts the front spring in a straight and horizontal position. It is never good practice to torque bolts against a spring action.

Thank you Huib. It makes sense! We had a tool like thad made already, if we make another one, we can proggress.

All the best, Peter
