Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Raising wheel bearing assembly to unladen position (vehicles with coil
springs), front axle
| Special tools and workshop equipment required |
| Engine and gearbox jack -V.A.G 1383 A- |
| Tensioning strap -T10038- |
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). |
| Bonded rubber bushes can be twisted only to a
limited extent. |
| Axle components with bonded rubber bushes must
therefore be brought to a position equivalent to the
unladen (normal) position before being tightened. |
| Otherwise, the bonded rubber bush would be subject
to torsion loading, shortening its service life. |
|
| To simulate this position on the lifting platform, raise the
respective wheel suspension with the engine and gearbox jack -V.A.G
1383 A- and support -T10149-. |
| Before the respective wheel suspension is raised, the
vehicle must be strapped to the lifting platform arms using
tensioning straps -T10038-. |
WARNING
| If the vehicle is not strapped down, there is a
danger that the vehicle will slip off the lifting
platform! |
|
| – |
Turn wheel hub until one of the wheel bolt holes is at the
top. |
| – |
Attach support -T10149- to wheel hub using wheel bolt. |
|
|
|
| Respective nuts and bolts may be tightened only when
dimension -a- between the centre of
wheel hub and edge of wheel housing has been attained. |
| The dimension -a- depends on
the ride height of the installed running gear: |
