Installation
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following.
1. Install the trunk lid seal so that the marking and connection is along the axis of the car body.

2. Install the trunk lid and secure it with bolts. Check the location of the trunk lid relative to adjacent surfaces. Adjust the position of the trunk lid so that when the lid is closed, the clearance around the perimeter of the lid is the same on all sides. To adjust, loosen the bolts securing the trunk lid hinges and, moving the trunk lid, adjust its position (pic. 17.30).
3. Make sure that the color of the mark in the middle part of the torsion bar matches the model of the car on which it is installed:
- cars without a rear spoiler - the label is missing;
- vehicles with a rear spoiler - a blue label.
4. Insert the end of the torsion bar into the side hole of its installation.
5. Install the special tool in the same way as it was done when removing the torsion bar, turn it and install it in the torsion bar mounting earring, then hook the torsion bar into the holder.
