Front Axle Component Layout

Front axle component layout
General
Load bearing and suspension elements are not to be welded and straightened.
Never move vehicles without drive axle installed, as otherwise wheel bearing damage will result. Should it nevertheless become necessary to move the vehicle, always heed the following:
- Install an outer joint instead of the drive axle.
- Tighten outer joint to 115 Nm (Bolt M14) or to 190 Nm (Bolt M16).
Bonded rubber bushings can only be turned to a limited extent. The bolted joints at the suspension links are therefore not to be tightened until the vehicle is standing on the ground.
