Replacing rubber-metal bearing for pendulum support - aluminium assembly carrier Special tools and workshop equipment required t  Ejection tool -T30082 (3372)- t  Assembly device -T10214- t  Assembly device -T10244- t  Pressure plate -MP3-406- t  Pressure plate -MP3-407- Pulling out the rubber-metal bearing –  Remove assembly carrier → Chapter. –  Install assembly device -T10244- on the assembly carrier.

–  Pull out both rubber-metal bearings as shown.   Note t  The flat side of the ejection tool -3372/1 (T30082)- must point towards the insert -A- of the assembly device -T10244- otherwise the insert can be damaged. t  The pipe -T10244/3- has a larger and a smaller inner diameter. The assembly carrier must be positioned on the large inner diameter of the pipe -T10244/3-. Inserting the rubber-metal bearing

–  Screw both rubber-metal bearings with the original screw, while doing so the cutouts -arrows- must be positioned exactly one above the other.

–  Insert the screwed rubber-metal bearing into the pipe -T10214/2- with the screw head downwards. 1 -  Thrust piece -T10214/3- 2 -  Rubber-metal bearing 3 -  Pipe section -T10214/2- 4 -  Pipe section -T10214/1- 5 -  , 6 -  Pressure plate -MP3-406- 7 -  Pressure plate -MP3-407-

–  Insert the rubber-metal bearing -1- until the dimension -a- is achieved. Dimension -a- = 2 - 3 mm.   Note t  There are two different versions of rubber-metal bearings. t  Assignment → Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts I - The edge of the inner core -1- points to the recess of the rubber-metal bearing.

lI - The edge of the inner core -2- points away from the recess of the rubber-metal bearing.

–  Align the pipe -T10214/2- with the pressed-in rubber-metal bearings in such a way that the corners of the inner core are positioned on an imaginary line parallel to the edge of the assembly device -T10244--1- and the cutouts in the rubber-metal bearings point to the opening of the assembly carrier. The distance -a- must be identical on the right and left so that the parallelism is assured. –  Place the assembly carrier on the smaller inner diameter of the pipe -T10244/3-.

–  Press in the bearing up to the stop so that a press force of 20 kN is reached. –  Remove assembly device -T10244- from assembly carrier and check the seating of the pressed-in rubber-metal bearing.    Pressure plate -MP3-406 (VW 401)-    Pressure plate -MP3-407 (VW 402)-

l  The outside diameter -1- of both rubber-metal bearings must protrude up to 2 mm beyond the edge in the area of the opening for the pendulum support. l  The cutouts of the rubber-metal bearing must be centered in the opening of the assembly carrier. l  A gap -arrow- between the rubber-metal bearings is allowed. –  Install assembly carrier. –  Perform a test drive. –  Check the steering wheel position during the test drive.   Note If after the test drive and with the wheels pointing straight ahead the steering wheel is off straight, perform a chassis alignment → Chapter.
