Procedures

Steering Gear

• Thoroughly clean connecting points and their surrounding areas before loosening.

• When installing steering gear, make sure centering sleeves are correctly seated between console and steering gear.

• Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover to prevent contamination. Use foils and paper. Only use lint-free cloths!

• Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation.

• Use exclusively lubricants and sealants marked with part numbers.

• Carefully cover or seal open components, if repairs are not carried out immediately.

• Two different steering gear versions were implemented in MY 2008. For information on the differences, refer to => [ Generation II and III Steering Gear Differences ] Application and ID.
