IMPORTANT To correct the articulation angle at the rear axle differential, appropriate spacer washers (arrow) are available as replacement part.

The spacer washers are available in a thickness of 1 mm to 4 mm. Each 1 mm of eccentricity changes the articulation angle by approx. 0.25° to 0.33°.

  1. Support rear axle differential with support plate and major assembly mount.
  2. Remove screw/bolt (1).
  3. Depending on correction, insert appropriate spacer disks together with screw (1).
  4. Tighten bolt (1) TORQUE SPECIFICATION .
  5. Take off support plate and major assembly mount.
