Inspect

1
Check bellows (11)

Never check bellows by pressing in or

around the bead, as this leaves behind

damage to the plastic and results in leaks in

the long-term.

Because the seals on the rubber boots

must be absolutely tight and leak-free to

ensure that the steering rack continues to

provide reliable operation, a visual inspection

should be carried out as follows:

D
Raise vehicle at the front axle

D
Extend the bellows by turning the steering

onto left or right lock and in the process

check for damage (cracks, chafing marks

and intrusions) and replace if necessary.


Remove/Install

Unscrew clamping nut (10i)

4
Detach outer clamp (11b)

5
Detach inner clamp (11a)

AR46.40-P-0400-01GH

6
Pull off bellows (11)

7
Replace O-ring (23k)

8
Check steering rack and inner tie rod thrust

joint for corrosion and play

If the rack is already corroded and the

steering has a leak as a result, it is then

necessary to replace the complete rack-and-

pinion steering:

Remove/install rack-and-pinion steering

If axial joint is worn, replace the inner

track rod:
