Removing and installing complete left or right
spring strut shock absorber
Special tools required:
•
31 2 230
Important!
If the centering pin is missing from the support bearing, the
position of the studs to the wheel arch must be marked so that
the original camber is approximately maintained.
Only one nut may ever be released for marking.
Necessary preliminary tasks:
•
Remove brake caliper and tie back
•
Remove stabilizer link from spring strut
•
Remove tie rod end from swivel bearing
Important!
Risk of damage!
When the swivel bearing is removed from the spring strut, the
tripod (2) can be pulled out of the tulip (1) and fall into the
rubber gaiter (3). In this event, it will be necessary to install a
new output shaft because the tripod (2) can jam or a roller of
the tripod (2) can slip off the moulding. The roller would then
be located in the gaiter (3) or bellows and result in rapid
failure.
