♦ Tensioning Strap - T10038-
♦ Engine/Gearbox Jack Adapter - Wheel Hub Support - T10149-
Note
All bolts at suspension parts with bonded rubber bushings must
always be tightened in curb weight position (unloaded condition).
Bonded rubber bushings can only be turned to a limited extent.
Parts with bonded rubber bushings must therefore be brought into
a position that corresponds to the position in driving mode before
being tightened (curb weight position).
Otherwise, the bonded rubber bushing will be stressed resulting
in a shortened service life.
By raising appropriate suspension using Engine/Gearbox Jack -
VAG1383A- and Engine/Gearbox Jack Adapter - Wheel Hub
Support - T10149- , this position can be simulated on the hoist.
– Before starting work, take measurement -a-, e.g. with tape
measure, from center of wheel to lower edge of wheelhouse.
Note
Measurement Must be Performed in Curb Weight Position (Un‐
loaded Condition).
– Note measured value. It will be required for tightening bolts/
nuts.
Before individual suspension is raised on one side, vehicle must
be secured to hoist lifting arms using Tensioning Strap - T10038- .
Note
The vehicle could fall off the hoist if it is not secured.
– Wheel, removing
– Turn the wheel hub until one of the holes for the wheel bolts
is on top.
– Install Engine/Gearbox Jack Adapter - Wheel Hub Support -
T10149- with wheel bolt on wheel hub.
Note
Tightening of the respective bolts/nuts must then only occur after
dimension -a-, which was measured before installation between
the wheel hub center and the lower edge of wheel housing, has
been attained.
