Audi Q7 Hitch Installation


1. Place the hitch against the bottom of the frame and line it up so the receiver protrudes from the back bumper. Use a second person to hold up the other side of the hitch.
2. Mark the 4 mounting holes on each side of the hitch onto the frame of the Audi using a black marker. Lower the hitch receiver and place it off to the side.
3. Drill holes using your black marks as locators. The frame on the Audi is not boxed. Therefore, you only need to go through the first layer of steel on the frame.
4. Place the hitch receiver against the frame and line up the holes. Push a bolt up through the hitch and into the frame on both sides of the hitch. Again, use a second person to help you with this. Thread a bolt onto each of the 2 bolts and tighten them using the socket and wrench set.
5. Push the remaining 6 bolts through the hitch and into the frame and secure them using the nuts, socket set and wrench set.
