Front Axle General Information



Front Axle General Information

- Load bearing components and parts of the suspension must not be welded or straightened.

- Vehicles without drive axle must not be moved, or wheel bearing will be damaged. If vehicle does have to be moved, always note the following points:
- Install an outer joint in place of the drive axle.
- Tighten outer joint to 115 Nm (M14 bolt) or 190 Nm (M16 bolt).

- Bonded rubber bushings can only be turned to a limited extent. The bolted connections on the suspension links should therefore only be tightened when the vehicle is standing on the ground.
