Wheel Bearing Housing As of Model Year 2002, Modified

Wheel bearing housing as of model year 2002, modified
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).
^ Mixed installation of wheel bearing housings with and without bushings is permissible.
^ When installing wheel bearing housings with bushings, the respective control arms (new version) and mounting components of the control arm as well as the guide control arm must be used or replaced.

The flange nuts must be replaced with combination nuts on mounting components

Guide control arms must not be replaced.
^ Conventional flange nuts should be installed on vehicles with wheel bearing housings without bushings and control arms of old design.
^ Replacement of the bushings is not permitted. Replace wheel bearing housing in case of damage.
