To complete the model, the second suspension strut must be located to the bottom telescopic pole. This procedure is similar to the first location previously carried out.
The lug and the hole in the locating bracket must be highlighted and the Centre Axes
function selected. This will ensure the two components are correctly aligned.

Existing mating constraints ensure that no further locating or mating of faces is necessary, and the model will now be complete.
Depending on the processing speed of the computer being used, the animation of the assembly may be more effective in wire frame mode. The computing required is greatly reduced in this mode and will make the animation smoother. However the assembly can be manipulated in shaded mode, but performance will be reduced.
The wireframe model version of the final assembly is shown on the left.
