Control Arm Bushing: Service and Repair
Control arm bushings, replacing
There are different versions of the control arm
The same version must always be installed on both sides.
Pressing out is achieved using Workshop press V.A.G1290A.
Note:
^
Use assembly lubricating oil G294 421 A1 when pressing in.
^
Mixture ratio of lubricating oil to water: 1:9.
^
This lubricating oil is non-corrosive and penetrates into the rubber (diffuses) after a short time.
^
It leaves a slightly sticky film, which ensures firm seating of the bushing.
^
Most conventional greases/oils contain acid and cause a film of lubricant to form.
^
This may affect the rubber, or cause the entire bushing to twist in the control arm instead of flexing when the suspension compresses and rebounds.
The following instructions apply to vehicles in which the rear bushing as seen in the direction of travel (the larger of the two bushings) is solid (i.e.
without cavities).
