Removing rear connecting link (suspension/stabiliser)
Connecting link (suspension/stabiliser)
1. With the vehicle raised, loosen the lock nuts -1 and 2- and remove the suspension/stabiliser.
Installing rear connecting link (suspension/stabiliser)
Up to approx. the middle of April 2005 (the exact date can be taken from the Technical Information if
necessary), the lock nut can become loose on the threaded connection of the stabilizer/suspension/stabiliser on
the front and rear axle due to a loss in preload.Suspension/stabilisers are therefore installed with a pin
extended by 10 mm and an appropriately extended hexagon nut on the front and rear axle as of the time
mentioned.Suspension/stabilisers with extended pins (extended threads) of the fastening bolt can be installed
retroactively.In the event of a claim (noise problem caused by the stabiliser), all 4 suspension/stabilisers are to
be replaced by the modified version. On assembly work in the stabiliser area or on the wheel suspension,
install the modified version on the right and left side.
Note
Use the new fastening nuts, which are 10 mm longer (Part No. 999.084.123.09), to secure the
modified connecting links.
