Steering column shaft joint mounting bolt
The tightening torque of the bolt (indicated by the arrow) securing the steering shaft joint has been increased to 25±1 Nm.
Caution: It is recommended to tighten the nut rather than screw in the bolt.
Increased tightening torque can also be used on older vehicles (pre 1988 models).
Further information concerning the technical characteristics, adjustment and repair of the steering system is given in section 8.
