# Service bulletin LI33.30\-P\-056665

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

## NHTSA's summary

Complaint Single throttle lift\-off clunking noise from the side shaft when moving off \(audible at the outboard end\). The clunk is heard once when changing from forward to reverse \(and vice versa\). Note: Sound file in attachment Cause If the complaint is eliminated by experimentally loosening the outboard collar nut \(by 1 turn\), the problem is due to micromovement in the connection between the wheel bearing inner race and the joint housing of the side shaft. Note: The collar nut must always be replaced after being loosened and must be tightened to the specified torque. Remedy Coat contact surface of side shaft with wheel bearing with Molykote paint. To do this, proceed as follows: 1. Remove outboard side shafts \(extract outer joint gearing from wheel hub\) 2. Clean contact surface A \(see picture file in attachment "Outer joint housing before"\) before coating with Molykote, using "spirit" \(free of dust and grease\) 3. Coat contact surface A \(see image file in attachment "Outer joint housing after"\) using Molykote and leave to dry for one hour in removed condition 4. Reinstall side shafts Note: Before using the antifriction coating \(Molykote\), stir or shake it well \(for at least 1 minute\).
