         ADJUSTMENTS & INSPECTION

         WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES

NOTE:    See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES article in
         the WHEEL ALIGNMENT section.

         WHEEL BEARING

         Tighten hub nut to 90 INCH lbs. (10 N.m) while rotating brake
disc or drum by hand. Insert tip of screwdriver between thrust washer
and hub. Adjustment is correct when light finger pressure against

SUSPENSION - REAR 

         REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

         AXLE BEAM PIVOT BUSHING

NOTE:    The following procedure is for replacing bushing with axle
         beam installed in vehicle.

         Removal
         Raise and support vehicle. With no pressure on beam, remove
nuts which retain axle beam to body. Tap out pivot bolt. Using Bushing
Remover (VW 3111), press out bushing. Press new bushing into place.

         Installation
         1) Loosely install mounting pad onto axle beam. Install
bushing to a depth of 2.42-2.44" (61.5-62.0 mm). Concave washer and
bolt head must face toward outside of vehicle. Bolt head must recess
into washer.
         2) Using Mounting Bracket Aligner (VW 261 or 3021), align
mount. See Fig. 2. With vehicle on ground, tighten pivot bolt nut to
specification.

         STRUT/SHOCK ABSORBER

CAUTION: DO NOT remove both suspension strut/shock absorbers at same
         time.

SUSPENSION - REAR 

         Installation
         1) Install protective cap and tube onto shock absorber.
Install rubber buffer with small end downward. Install snap ring and
washer. Place spring into lower seat. Install upper retainer with
spacer sleeve.
         2) Tighten slotted nut (some models) which retains piston
rod. Install upper mounting hardware. Tighten piston rod. To complete
installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten bolts and nuts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table at end of article.

         SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY

CAUTION: When removing suspension assembly, add weight to rear of
         vehicle to prevent tipping due to change in center of
         gravity.

         Removal
         1) With vehicle on floor, disconnect upper strut/shock mount.
Raise and support vehicle. Disconnect parking brake at bracket near
axle mount.
         2) Disconnect and plug brakelines. Leave flex hose attached
to suspension. Separate brake pressure regulator spring from axle beam
(if equipped). Remove nuts which retain axle beam to body.

NOTE:    DO NOT install bolts and nuts fouled with undercoating. With
         waxy coating on threads, true tightening torque cannot be
         measured. Clean or replace bolts and nuts.

         Installation
         1) If axle beam mounting has been removed, adjust mounting
pad. See Fig. 2. If pad is not correctly aligned, torsional preload of
mounting bushings will be incorrect.
         2) Position rear suspension on body. Install nuts retaining
axle beam to body. Raise wheel. Guide upper end of strut/shock into
body mount.
         3) Connect parking brake cables. Connect brakelines. Lower
vehicle. Tighten upper strut/shock retaining nuts. Tighten all bolts
and nuts to specification. Bleed brake system.
