Lift the vehicle. Remove front wheel.
1. Fix -top axle strut- with tension jack VW 552 (vehicle in illustration with conventional suspension). This involves tensioning axle strut slightly
because top ball joint can otherwise get damaged. To do this, the tension jack is engaged into the top opening of the wheel house (double panel)
and in the axle strut.
2. Release fastening nut from bottom ball joint and press off with press-out tool T 10187. When doing this, leave fastening nut flush on ball pin, so as
not to damage thread. Then remove the lower fastening screw of the spring strut. For this purpose, lift wheel carrier with a suitable -lift with rubber
base- (to prevent slipping) to the extent that the screw can be unscrewed easily.
3. Mark eccentric screws for adjusting camber and caster on suspension subframe (facilitates fitting when reinstalling). Then remove eccentric
screws. When doing so, ensure that steering sleeve is not damaged by eccentric.
4. Pull (press) axle strut out of the suspension subframe mounting points -A-.
5. Remove fastening nut from ball joint. Tilt -axle Strut down all the way and pull ball joint carefully out of the wheel carrier.
