All bolts at suspension parts with bonded rubber bushings are always tightened in curb weight position (unloaded condition).
Bonded rubber bushings can only be turned to a limited extent.
Parts with bonded rubber bushings must therefore be brought into a position that corresponds to the position in driving mode before being tightened
(curb weight position).
Otherwise, rubber bushing will be stressed resulting in a shortened service life.
By lifting the axle on one side using engine/transmission jack V.A.G 1383 A and wheel hub support T10149, this position can be simulated on a lift.
