All suspension component bolts with bonded rubber bushings must be tightened with the suspension in the curb weight position (unladen).
Bonded rubber bushings have a limited twisting range.
Before axle components with bonded rubber bushings are tightened, they have to be brought to a position which matches the position when the vehicle
is being operated (curb weight position).
Otherwise the bonded rubber bushing will be distorted, resulting in reduced service life.
By raising the suspension on one side using engine/transmission jack V.A.G 1383 A and wheel hub support T10149, this position can be simulated on
the hoist.
