NOTE:
Two different wheel bearing housings were installed in production. The difference between the two is the steering arm strength.
When exchanging the wheel bearing housing, make sure the length of the thread on the tie rod end is sufficient (there must be approximately 5 mm extra thread). If this is not the case, then install a new tie rod end with a longer thread pin.
