MODIFIED STEERING KNUCKLE, CARS WITH FLOATING BRAKE CALIPERS
To avoid damaging the rubber boot of the lower ball joint (mounting) with a
commercial puller, the steering knuckle has a press-off lug (only steering
knuckles for floating brake calipers).
Steering knuckles without press-off lug have been discontinued and are no
longer available as spare parts.
It is permissible to install the newest steering knuckle on one side only.
Disassembly
Lower Ball Joint
When the securing nut is slackened
(cap nut - previously normal
self-locking hex nut) the pin of
the ball joint is pressed out of
the steering knuckle, because the
cap nut acts against the press-off
lug.
Upper Ball Joint
Use VW 267 a to press off as before
(page 40 - 14).
