NOTE: During installation of the front wheel bearing it is important to adhere to the
specified installation position, as the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) sensor ring is located
in the wheel bearing. A coloured rubber ring is provided to indicate the correct installation
position. If the wheel bearing were to be installed incorrectly then this would cause failure
of the ABS . Refer to the current service literature for further information.
The suspension strut turret support bearings have two separate routes for independently
deflecting the spring and shock absorber forces into the body. This reduces the level of
noise transmitted from the road surface.
Springs with various ratings may be installed, depending on the vehicle variant. The shock
absorbers are twin-tube gas shock absorbers. Dampers with various characteristics may be
installed, depending on the vehicle variant.
The ball joint between the suspension arm and the strut can be changed separately. A
revised special tool is available for this in service.
There is also a heat shield installed on the ball joint. Pay particular attention here, because
any damage to the heat shield of the ball joint means that the ball joint must be replaced.
The wheel hub has five studs for securing the wheel.
