Threaded connection of trailing link/wheel bearing housing must only be tightened when all other components (spring and shock absorber always) of the respective wheel suspension have been already assembled. To tighten, suspension must be unloaded. Only now do the trailing link and wheel bearing housing move into the position required -arrows-.
Always Perform the Following Work in the Sequence Given!
-- Install wheel bearing housing.
-- Insert the bolts -4, 5 and 7- and hand-tighten the nuts -3, 6 and 8-.
-- Hand-tighten the bolt -9-.
-- Hand-tighten the bolts -1 and 2-.
The bolting at wheel bearing housing may occur only when the dimension "a" has been obtained. Refer to WHEEL BEARING IN CURB WEIGHT, LIFTING VEHICLES WITH COIL SPRING .
-- Install the : T10149 with wheel bolt on wheel hub -arrow-.
-- Lift the wheel bearing housing using the : VAS6931 until dimension -a- is reached. Refer to WHEEL BEARING IN CURB WEIGHT, LIFTING VEHICLES WITH COIL SPRING .
-- Tighten the bolts and nuts -3 through 9-.
-- Remove the : VAS6931 with the : T10149 from the wheel hub.
-- Install coil spring. Refer to SPRING, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

- "Re-adapt control position". Refer to Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
- On vehicles with lane assistance calibrate the driver assistance systems front camera. Refer to DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS FRONT CAMERA, CALIBRATING .
- Evaluate the need for a basic setting of the headlamps. Refer to HEADLAMP, ADJUSTING .
