Installation Location Of Rear Bonded Rubber Bushing
- -A - Conventional bonded rubber bushing, the arrow point in the drive direction
- -B - Hydraulic bonded rubber bushing, the anti-twist element -1- is perpendicular to direction of travel, -arrow- points in direction of travel
Applies to a Hydraulic Bonded Rubber Bushing
Before installing the front hydraulic bonded rubber bushing, carefully pry the anti-twist mechanism -1- off the bushing with a screwdriver near the retaining tab -arrows-. Do this in several steps alternating from side to side.
Applies to All
-- Place the tools on the rear bonded rubber bushing as shown in the illustration.
- Nut:T10263/5
- Thrust piece:T40185/4
- Subframe
- Bonded rubber bushing or the hydraulic bonded rubber bushing
- Thrust piece:T40185/3
- Support ring:T10205/4
- :VAS 6178
- Nut:T10263/5
- Spindle:T10263/4 . The spindle pins face downward.
-- Align the bonded rubber bushing with the markings made previously and push it in until the collar comes in contact with the bushing in the subframe >>without any gaps<<. If necessary, tension and press over cylinder several times. While pulling in, make sure the bonded rubber bushing does not cant, otherwise outer ring could be damaged.
-- The ends of the rubber bead on the bonded rubber bushing must align with the markings -arrows- on the subframe.
The illustration shows a hydraulic bonded rubber bushing. On a conventional bonded rubber bushing, the recesses on the rubber shoulders are turned 90°.
After replacing the bearing, fix any paint damage on the subframe with corrosion protection, primer and black top coat.
-- Attach the anti-twist mechanism to the hydraulic bonded rubber bushing.
Further installation is in the reverse sequence to removal.
