Rolling noise2. There is rubbing between the element and driveshaft3. Variations in the noise when steering. | 1. Carry out the test again with tyres of a different make. If the noise decreases a lot, change the tyres.2. Lubricated the affected parts3. Replace the hub bearings Op. 4450C34 ONE FRONT WHEEL HUB BEARING, LEFT OR RIGHT - REPLACE WITH STEERING KNUCKLE REMOVED |
| 4 | CHECK ON NOISE AT TAKE OFF | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
|---|
| Carry out a road test to check that there is no noise at take off. | Move on to Step 5 | 1. Noise from the gearbox area.2. Noise from the side member area.3. Noise from the crossmember. | 1. Check the three-lobe joints and replace them if necessary2. Check the power unit supports. Restore correct fasteningsreplace them if necessary.3. Fasten the crossmember. |
| 5 | CHECK ON UNMADE ROAD | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
|---|
| Carry out a road test to check that there is no noise on an unmade road. | Move on to Step 6 | 1. Noise at the hubs 2. Noise from the steering area3. There is a rubber creaking4. There is a plastic knocking5. There is a drumming noise from one of the front shock absorbers: oil leak6. There is a drumming noise from one of the rear shock absorbers: oil leak7. There is a screeching noise. | 1. Replace the track rod ends. Op. 4410B40 LOWER TRACK CONTROL ARM (WITH BALLJOINT) FOR LEFT OR RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION (ONE) - R+R - CHECK WHEEL GEOMETRY SEPARATELY 2. Replace the steering box Op. 4110D20 STEERING ELECTRICAL CONTROL DEVICE - R R 3. Check or, if necessary, replace the anti-roll bar mountings4. Position the dust cover for the shock absorber5. Replace the shock absorber Op. 4410A12 FRONT SUSPENSION DAMPER (ONE), LH OR RH - FOR MCPHERSON STRUT SYSTEM - INCLUDES DISMANTLING/REASSEMBLY OF ASSEMBLY AT BENCH - R.R 6.
