Wheel Bearing, with Air Suspension, Lifting to Curb Weight Position

Wheel Bearing, with Air Suspension, Lifting to Curb Weight Position

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

‹› Engine-/transmission jack (V.A.G 1383 A)

Bonded rubber bushings can only be turned to a limited extent.

Before axle components with bonded rubber bushings are tightened, they have to be brought to a position which matches the position when the vehicle
is being operated (control position).

Otherwise the rubber mounting will be stressed, resulting in a reduced service life.

This position can be simulated on the lifting platform by raising the wheel bearing housing using (V.A.G 1383 A) and (T10149).
