Caution All bolts on running gear components with bonded rubber bushes may be tightened only when the component is in the unladen position (normal position). |
Bonded rubber bushes can only be turned to a limited extent. |
Therefore, before tightening the bolts, suspension components with bonded rubber bushes must be brought into a position corresponding to the normal position of the unladen vehicle while driving (unladen position). |
Otherwise, the bush would be subject to torsion loading and its service life would be shortened. |
|
To simulate this position on the lifting platform, raise the respective wheel suspension with the engine and gearbox jack -V.A.G 1383 A- and support -T10149-. |
Before the respective wheel suspension is raised, the vehicle must be strapped to the lifting platform arms on both sides with tensioning straps -T10038-. |
WARNING If the vehicle is not strapped down, there is a danger that the vehicle will slip off the lifting platform! |
