Always renew self-locking nuts.

Always renew corroded nuts and bolts.

Bonded rubber bushes can be twisted only to a limited extent.

Therefore, you should only tighten the threaded connections

of components with bonded rubber bushes when the wheel

bearing housing is raised to unladen position, Golf

Special tools and workshop

equipment required
♦ Engine and gearbox jack -

V.A.G 1383 A-

♦ Tensioning strap -T10038-
♦ Support -T10149-

Note

All bolts on running gear components with bonded rubber bushes

may be tightened only when the component is in the unladen po‐

sition (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 axle on

one side using the engine and gearbox jack -V.A.G 1383 A- and

support -T10149- .
