Replace tie rod end
 Remove
Important: The tie rod end was
changed with model year 2010. The aftersales department now keeps
only tie rod ends from model year 2010 in its range.
Mixed installation of both old and new generation tie end rods is
not permitted.
This means that, in the event of a defective tie rod end, the tie
rod ends must always be replaced in pairs on vehicles up to and
including model year 2009.
The change also resulted in a change in tightening torque. When
using new parts: tie rod end and steering knuckle are bolted
together for the first time: 30 Nm +
180° + 15° .
Tie rod end or steering knuckle was already installed once: 35 Nm .
