Wheel Bearing In Control Position, Lifting Vehicles With Air Suspension: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Audi S6, 2018 Audi A6 Quattro, 2018 Audi A6, 2017 Audi S6, and 2017 Audi A6 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special tools and workshop equipment required

Engine and Gearbox Jack :VAS6931
Engine/Gearbox Jack Adapter - Wheel Hub Support :T10149
Vehicle Diagnostic Tester

NOTE:

All chassis component bolts with bonded rubber bushings must be tightened with the control position.

Bonded rubber bushings have a limited range of motion.

Before axle components with bonded rubber bushings are tightened, they have to be brought to a position which matches the position when the vehicle is being operated (control position).

Otherwise the rubber mounting will be stressed, resulting in a reduced service life.

By raising appropriate suspension using :VAS6931 and :T10149 , this position can be simulated on the hoist.
