Subject:
Adjustment of Bearing Tension
Application:
All New Style 900, All 9000 Models with Manual Transmission
A new, more precise method to set output shaft bearing tension has been developed. This increases the service life of the affected bearings. The method
is based on measuring the output axle turning torque, using a torque meter in the range of 0-300Ncm. Measurement is made after normal setting of
bearing tension, but before the nut is locked. See the Action below for the proper procedure to carry this out. The tools that are required to perform this
work are listed below.
Cars Affected:
1994- 900 and 1985- 9000 Models equipped with manual transmission.
