  1. Pre test: Check the detachable tow bar locking pin is moving freely without sticking.
  2. Insert the tow bar into the chassis following the owners handbook instruction.
  3. Hold the special tool JLR-501-201 against the tow bar as shown, failure to follow this instruction may result in an incorrect measurement.
  4. Install the special tool as shown.
  5. Check the position of the tow bar release handle against the special tool, and observe the following: If the tow bar release handle points to the red area of the special tool, go to Step 6. If the tow bar release handle points outside of the red area of the special tool, then the tow bar mounting is correct and no further action is required.
  6. Install a new tow bar and check the tow bar mounting following Steps 3 - 5. If the tow bar release handle points to the red area of the special tool, install a new rear crossmember. See «REAR CROSSMEMBER»(/land-rover/range-rover-sport/l320-2009-2013/remont/frames-subframes-crossmembers/#full-frame-and-body-mounting) .
