| For LHD vehicles with KOYO steering manufactured as of 43/04 a component modification was performed as an enhancement for which the steering gear pinion has been offset by 1 tooth. For these reasons the steering gear is modified as of this date. For vehicles manufactured before this date the steering wheel is turned by approx. 1/8 turn when replacing the steering gear. Do not set the steering wheel with track rods, rather offset the steering wheel in the grooves of the steering column → Body Work; Rep. gr.69. |
