The crests of the splines -arrow- are slightly flattened (compressed). This prevents tooth backlash in the splines between outer joint and wheel hub. |
The new process requires a new tightening procedure of the 12-point nut. |
The drive shaft cannot be installed or removed from the wheel hub without tools. |
In future only wheel hubs with compressed splines will be supplied as replacement parts. Do not use locking compound when these wheel hubs are installed. |
The removal and installation procedure for the drive shaft has been revised. |
