Removing and installing (see the separate procedure)
New-generation suspension components (upper wishbone, lower wishbone and wheel bearing housing) were phased in in production from model year 2010 onwards. These parts can be identified by the tapered pin on the wishbone
1) and the bush
2) for the tapered pin in the wheel bearing housing. For correct version refer to
Electronic parts catalogue.
1)
Thread on tapered pin of old-generation wishbone = M12; thread on tapered pin of new-generation wishbone = M14.
2)
Outer diameter of shoulder on bush for tapered pin in old-generation wheel bearing housing = approx. 37 mm; outer diameter in new-generation wheel bearing housing = approx. 39 mm.
No new parts are available for replacement of the old-generation suspension components; only the new-generation parts are now supplied.
Mixed installation of suspension components of different generations on one suspension unit or on the same axle is not permitted.
