Modified wheel bearing housing as of model year 2002
In a running change from model year 2002, the wheel bearing housings are equipped with bushings for optimizing the seals of the lower control arm bearings (control arm and guide control arm).
- Application Refer to, Parts Supplier
- Mixed installation of wheel bearing housings without and with bushings is permissible.
- When installing wheel bearing housings with bushings, the respective control arms (new version) and mounting parts of the control arm as well as the guide control arm must be used or replaced.
- On mounting parts, the flange nuts must be replaced with combination nuts.
- Guide control arms must not be replaced.
- Conventional flange nuts must be installed on vehicles with wheel bearing housings without bushings and old version control arms.
- Replacement of the bushings is not intended. Replace wheel bearing housing in case of damage.
