   Model year 2005:
  
  
   Position 1 and 5 has been swapped so for this specific model year you
must read pos 1 as the code for the front strut insert and pos 5 as the code
for the spring.
   
   
   
    Model year 2007:
   
  
  
   Incorrect code 62 in pos 5 (front strut insert) the correct code should
be 61.
   
   
   
    Model year 2008-2009 ( up to VIN 91022285):
   
  
  
   Incorrect code 62 in pos 5 (front strut insert) the correct code should
be 41.
