As we reviewed the repair method for replacing the supporting joint we discovered that this can be done without having to remove the steering knuckle which will save considerable time.
Effective immediately, please replace the supporting joint of the front axle as per this new, and faster repair method.
The operation items and WUs will be changed in the systems as soon as possible. Until then, this should be done manually.
See the AR document for the modified repair method.
