SI33.20-P-0005A | Service Information: Damage codes for cracking noise in the front axle area | 20.8.04 |
MODEL 168, 171, 203, 209, 210, 211, 215, 219, 220, 230
Cracking noises in the front axle area may have different causes.
Noise may be caused by various components or bolted connections (e.g. front axle carrier, steering, stabilizer bar, torque strut, shock-absorber strut, shock absorber, engine mount, exhaust system or rear transmission mounting).
Due to recent events we point out that the component causing the damage must always be coded, if possible.
If coding is incorrect, important information on the defective component will not be available to us.
