22) (Fig. H): Unclip the seal (17) using a fine screwdriver.
23) (Fig. H): Twisting the body (18) of the joint using a
suitable tool (example: a screwdriver), separate the
joint and the rollers from the front knuckle.

Note: (Fig. I): the internal ring (19) for the joint and the seal
(17) remain fitted on the axis of the front knuckle.

24) Remove the internal ring (19) for the joint and the
seal (17) using a hub extractor (or other similar tool).
Refitting the lower suspension joint (on the front
knuckle)

Important note: The condition of the seal contact surface

on the front knuckle is critical to the durability of the
replacement parts. The following instructions must be
followed exactly. If the ball joint support surface located on
the front knuckle (see the hatched area Fig. J) is severely
damaged, replace the front knuckle and proceed from step
25). If not, proceed according to the following instructions.
Caution: The following operations must be carried out
before fitting the lower suspension ball joint:
– Clean, then remove the grease from the ball joint
support surface located on the front knuckle to
remove all traces of corrosion. Allow the support
surface to dry.
– Protect the stub shaft of the front knuckle with
rubber tape.
– Evenly spray Loctite 7800 on the seal contact
surface of the front knuckle (NB. the Loctite must
not be applied on the whole knuckle).
– Allow the Loctite 7800 to dry for 10 to 15 minutes
– Repeat the application of the Loctite 7800 three
more times, allowing 10–15 minutes drying time
between each application (four layers of Loctite
7800 are therefore applied in total).
– Remove the rubber tape from the stub shaft of the
front knuckle.
25) (Fig. H): Apply a line of grease to the ball joint’s seal
lip (17) (Total N4128 grease).
26) (Fig. J): To ensure correct centring, pre-engage the
joint bearing (1) onto the front knuckle stub shaft (20).
27) Mount the joint fully onto the front knuckle stub shaft
by using a suitable tool, for example a ring or spacer
of correct shape and diameter to fit the application
area (see the greyed out area with the black arrows in
Fig. J). Apply the mounting force in a uniform manner,
in line with the stub shaft, using an appropriate
device (example: a press, or SKF lower suspension
joint mounting tool).
Caution: Check that the joint is correctly fitted. The stub
shaft of the front knuckle must be pressed in until it is in
contact with the bottom of the joint housing. The lower J
suspension joint is then almost blocked from rotation (do
not release the joint). Refitting the front knuckle
Note: Replace the original Nyloc nuts (self-threaded nuts)
with new nuts.
28) Place the front knuckle on the shock absorber
support:
– (Fig. F): the threaded rod (21) of the ball joint (2) is
inserted into the hold on the upper part of the front
knuckle.
– (Fig. K): the tapped holes of the lower suspension
joint are centred on the holes (22) of the lower part
of the shock absorber support.
Caution: Ensure that the ribs (16) (Fig. J) are placed in the K
marks (23) (Fig. K) left by the used suspension’s lower joint.
29) (Fig. F): Tighten the nut (3) holding the ball joint
using a torque of 60 Nm.
Note: The retaining screws (12) and (13) (Fig. E) of the
lower suspension joint must be coated in thread lock paste
before being tightened.
Caution: The retaining screws (12) must be tightened
simultaneously in order to gradually release the lower
suspension joint.
30) (Fig. E): Tighten the retaining screws (12) to 170 Nm.
31) (Fig. E): Tighten the retaining screws (13) to 65 Nm.
