A noise may occur while driving, produced at the front drive shafts. The noise is most obvious during slow driving and turning. The noise is due to the rubber material, which has a certain friction that may create a noise in cold weather conditions. Clean the bellows with a dry cloth and apply spray wax (Wurth P/N 0892082500) onto the bellows. If possible, perform this operation again two weeks after the first application.
