Different tie rod ends were installed during production; the difference is the joint pin thread length, refer to parts.
When replacing the tie rod end, 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, for allocation, refer to parts.
