| Sealing ring missing. | Replace the constant velocity joint and the driveshaft Op. 2710A10 DRIVESHAFT WITH JOINTS (ONE), L/H OR R/H - R + R |
| 2 | INTERMEDIATE SHAFT BEARING CHECK | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |
|---|
| Check the condition of the intermediate shaft bearing. | Move on to Step 3. | Bearing damaged | Replace the bearing. Op. 2710A32 INTERMEDIATE DRIVESHAFT BEARING SUPPORT - R + R WITH INTERMEDIATE DRIVESHAFT REMOVED |
| 3 | WHEEL SIDE JOINT CLEARANCE CHECK | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |
|---|
| Check that the clearance for the wheel side constant velocity joint is not too great. | Move on to Step 4. | Excessive clearance compared with the opposite wheel side joint. | Replace the wheel side constant velocity joint Op. 2710A20 WHEEL SIDE CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT (ONE), L/H OR R/H - R + R WITH DRIVESHAFT REMOVED - INCLUDES BOOT REPLACEMENT and carry out the correct greasing. |
| 4 | WHEEL SIDE JOINT SEIZING CHECK | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |

| 5 | WHEEL SIDE JOINT TIGHTENING CHECK | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |
|---|
| Remove the left wheel Op. 4450B02 LEFT FRONT WHEEL - R.R and/or the right one Op. 4450B04 RIGHT FRONT WHEEL - R.R Check that the constant velocity joint fastening nut is tightened and that the staking is in place. | Move on to Step 6. | Nut loosening | Replace the nut, restore the torque tightening and stake Op. 4450C32 ONE FRONT WHEEL HUB BEARING, LH OR RH - REPLACE |
| 6 | CLUTCH PLATE CHECK | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |
|---|
| Check that there is no irregular wear on the surface of the clutch plate. | Move on to Step 7. | Surface of the clutch plate worn unevenly. | Replace the assembly Op. 1810A20 CLUTCH - R + R |
| 7 | CORRECT OPERATION CHECK | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |
|---|
| Check that the fault is no longer present. | End of diagnosis. | The fault persists. | The fault is due to another system (engine, gearbox, differential, suspension). Search for the cause in one of these systems, following the appropriate diagnostic procedures. |
