All bolts on suspension components with bonded rubber bushings must always be tightened with the suspension in the curb weight position.
Bonded rubber bushings can only be turned to a limited extent.
Before tightening bolts, suspension components with bonded rubber bushings must be brought into a position corresponding to normal position of the
unladen vehicle while driving (curb weight position).
Otherwise, the bushing would be subject to torsion loading and its service life would be shortened.
This position can be simulated on the lifting platform by raising the appropriate part of the suspension with the engine/transmission jack V.A.G 1383
A and wheel hub support T10149.
