– Check axle mountings also for following damage:  
♦ Complete separation of rubber and metal parts.  
♦ Large play between mounting and suspension link, which  
has a considerably negative effect on the function of the  
mounting.  
Note  
Superficial cracks and cuts as well as minor separations of  
the rubber element from the metal part do not significantly  
affect the operation of the elasto-kinematic mounting and do  
not constitute a basis for a complaint.  
Damage to the thin rubber skin over cavities due to con‐  
struction is also permissible.  
Play between bearing and axle component is permissible as  
long as there is no negative effect on the function of the  
bearing.  
4.2  
All-wheel drive coupling: changing oil  
NOTICE  
On vehicles with all-wheel drive coupling the drain plugs  
and sealing plugs of both systems are often interchanged  
owing to the integrated housing construction of all-wheel drive  
coupling and final drive. Caution must be exercised during  
maintenance and servicing as incorrect fitting can cause the  
all-wheel drive coupling and the final drive to fail.  
The all-wheel drive coupling and the final drive are one sys‐  
tem with separate oil systems.
