Front Jack Bolts -Dumb Question

[jwebb]

Installing front/rear jack bolts in the same location they came from during body disassembly, is it necessary? Manual doesn't mention that it's important but build video does? Thoughts?

I did based on the video recommendation but for the life of me couldn't figure out why it would matter. Would be curious to hear of anyone has a solid reason why.

If you have the early Mk4 angle cut split sleeves/spacers that sandwich the body they need to go back into the proper orientation (all 4 are a different combination of inner and outer). If you have the through the body sleeves with a newer Mk4 from the last 2 years or so it does not matter.

FFR includes the front ones on the later "through the body" version. An earlier car can be retrofitted with the grommets and full length sleeves. I don't like them in the back because that mounting method doesn't allow the lower valence to be adjusted to match up with the deck lid.
