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.

7

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:
