NOISES WHILST DRIVING
As a rule, the friction pads of the AKS 3004 do not make a noise
during driving. Any clicking, creaking or squeaking noises that
do arise may be due to the following:
a. Foreign bodies, dirt or exhaust particle build up between the
friction pad and towball.
b. Dry operation of the drawshaft inside the overrun device.
c. A detachable towball which has too much play in the
locking mechanism.
REMEDIAL ACTION
a. Clean the towball and friction pads before each journey by
lightly rubbing the surfaces with a light emery paper (100-
120 grit) or use brake cleaning uid to remove the build up.
b. Lubricate the drawshaft sleeve via the grease nipples. In
addition, push the gaiter forward and grease (DIN 51 825
KTA 3K) the exposed part of the shaft (Fig 26).
c. Visit a specialist workshop to have the ball holding area
checked for damage and the locking mechanism for
function. If necessary, change the towball.
