Date: September 22, 2010

Order No.: V-B-32.20/01

Group: 32

SUBJECT:
MY-All, Model 906 with Codes C40 Front Axle Stabilizer Bar and C45 Reinforced Front
Axle Stabilizer Bar (except Codes ZG1 Engageable All-Wheel Drive and Except Code ZG3
Engageable All-Wheel Drive With Gear Reduction)
Replacing Torsion Bar Mounts





As of production period 07/2010, a modified rubber mount (Figure 1) (1) to the stabilizer bar on the front axle is available. In contrast to the old rubber mount Figure 1 (3) this is a torsion bearing, which has to be installed and bolted at the zero position. The stabilizer bar (Figure 1) (2) is then hooked into the link rods.

When a repair is necessary only install the new rubber mounts (Figure 1) (1) and make sure to do both
sides.

The bearing shells with bolts must also be replaced to maintain proper balance of the parts.

See WIS document AR32.20-D-0300H for instructions on removing and installing the stabilizer bar on the front axle.

Test and Adjustment Values for Torsion Bar





The Installed dimension for the lower edge of front axle carrier to stabilizer bar (Figure 2) (dimension A) is 59.5mm. (WIS document BE32.20-N-1001-05A).
