DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Step 3: According to each identified operating
condition (Column A, B,
C, D, E, F), check each
possible Steering System
NVH concern with the
detail symptom charts below.
Before conducting a vehicle test to identify a
NVH
concern carry out the following checks.
1. Check the tire pressures and adjust to
specification, as necessary.
2. Make sure the steering system fluid is correct,
the system is free of leaks and is operating
correctly.
3. Make sure the vehicle steering system
temperature is the same as described at the
customer interview.
4. All evaluations must take place in a relatively
quiet location.
5. The heating
- air conditioning (AIC) fan and
radio must be turned off during evaluations and
the windows closed.

205-04-3 Front Drive Halfshafts 205-04-3
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Front Drive Halfshafts
Drives hafts
Conventional driveshafts are used on the front axle.
For servicing purposes it is important to note that
the inner tripod joints are pressed onto the shaft.
This has made it possible to reduce noise levels
when the vehicle is pulling away from standing.
The outer joint has not been approved for service
repairs, so in the event of a fault it is necessary to
replace the complete shaft and outer joint
assembly. The inner joints are dismantled with the
aid of a puller. The driveshaft needs to be removed
first.
In order to install a new boot on the outer joint, it
is first necessary to remove the driveshaft and then
disassemble the inner joint. A special service kit is
available in service for this purpose, consisting of
the inner and outer boot and the necessary small
parts.
The same amount of grease is used to pack the
inner and outer joints.
- The PAC nut used for securing the driveshaft to ' the wheel hub must not be reused.
Item Description
I 1 I Securing clip for bearings I
Heat shield (only for vehicles with a petrol
1 * 1 engine)
It should also be noted that vehicles with a petrol
engine have an additional heat shield on the bearing of the intermediate shaft of the right-hand
driveshaft. This is required to prevent the grease
in the bearing from overheating as a result of the
closeness to the catalytic converter.
