 Model 207 with code M005 (4MATIC):
Mount measuring sensor (086a) roughly in the center of the cross strut (17).

 Model 172, 207 except code M005 (4MATIC):
In order to prevent the measuring sensor (086a) lying on the cross strut (17b) and therefore making a faulty measurement, the measuring sensor (086a) must be mounted between the two humps (arrows) and pressed towards the wheel. The measuring sensor (086a) must make contact with the outboard hump (arrow).
