Removal
Loosen the wheel bolts and lift the car.
Remove the wheel
Unscrew the self-locking nut from the steering rod end (since August 1982.), perhaps the nut needs to be unpinned.
Press the tip out of the pivot arm using a standard puller.
Loosen the clamp bolt (arrow).
Unscrew the steering rod end from the adjusting stud and note the number of revolutions.
Note: Remember the number of revolutions so that you can set the rod to the desired position without changing the wheel alignment.
Installation
Screw the end of the transverse tie rod onto the adjusting pin, making the same number of turns as when removing it.
Since August 1981, the internal thread in the steering rod joint has been changed from only right-hand threads to right-hand threads (left hinge) and left-hand thread (right hinge).
Please note whether it is right or left hand execution (in the direction of movement).
The right version is designated - R.
The screw-in depth of the tip should be the same as that of the steering rod.

Observe the installed position of the clamp. The clamps must lie opposite each other. The welded nut must be on top. Tighten the clamp nut with a force of 20 Nm.
Install the tie rod end and tighten the castle nut to 50 Nm.
Install the locking clip. If the locking clip does not fit, tighten the castle nut to the next cotter pin hole. Since August 1991, cotter pin holes have no longer been made. Secure the tie rod joint with a new self-locking nut to 60 Nm.
Adjust convergence, see paragraph 15.1.
Screw on the wheels and tighten them crosswise to 90 Nm.
