Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the 802 186 mount should only be performed by individuals comfortable with automotive suspension systems.
- Compatibility: Always cross-reference your vehicle's VIN with the LEMFÖRDER catalog to ensure the 802 186 matches your specific suspension package (M-Tech vs. Standard).
- Installation: Use a high-quality spring compressor to safely remove the coil spring tension from the old mount before replacement.
- Care: Avoid high-pressure water washing directly at the mount seals. During annual inspections, check the dust cover for tears that could allow dirt to contaminate the bearing assembly.
- Alignment: A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after replacing strut mounts to ensure proper tire wear and handling dynamics.
