While working on the rear axle, care must be taken to ensure that the surface of aluminum components do not get any scratches, cracks and notches. Otherwise the service life of the parts will be affected

Tighten nuts and bolts of rubber mounts of chassis components only in deflect state, to keep rubber mounts in neutral position

The rubber mounts of the spring control arm are not individually exchangeable on model 251. The spring control arm must be replaced if the rubber mounts are defective!
