The bonded rubber mountings for upper control arm on the rear axle were modified. The "kidney" shaped recess in the rubber segment was discontinued.

Only new bonded rubber mountings without a kidney shaped recess are supplied as spare part.

Therefore bonded rubber mountings must be replaced as a pair on both sides on vehicles up to and including vehicle identification No. 3B WE 102 715.

A mixed installation is not permissible!
