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).
The bonded metal-rubber bushes have a limited torsion mar‐
gin.
Axle components with bonded rubber bushes must therefore
be brought to a position equivalent to the unladen (normal) po‐
sition before being tightened.
The bonded rubber bushes are otherwise constantly tensioned
and have a shorter service life.
To simulate this position on the lifting platform, raise the axle on
one side using the engine and gearbox jack - VAS 6931- and
support - T10149- .
Before the axle on one side is raised, both sides of the vehicle
must be strapped to the lifting platform arms with tensioning
straps - T10038- .
1 - Tensioning strap - T10038-
WARNING
If the vehicle is not strapped down, there is a danger that the
vehicle will slip off the lifting platform/hoist.
– Turn wheel hub until one of the wheel bolt holes is at the top.
– Use wheel bolt to attach support - T10149- .
