Installing rear bush for suspension bracket
Installing rear bush for suspension bracket
  Note!
t  Use assembly lubricating oil -G 294 421 A1- (diluted 1:20) when pressing in.
t  This lubricating oil is acid-free and penetrates into the rubber after a short time (by diffusion).
t  It leaves a slightly tacky film, which ensures firm seating of the bush.
t  Most conventional greases or oils contain acid and cause a film of lubricant to form.
t  This may affect the rubber, or cause the entire bush to twist in the suspension bush instead of flexing when the suspension compresses and rebounds.
   
–  Press in bush.
