Axle Beam Trailing Arm (Torsion Beam), Checking With Vas 241001: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, 2013 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
A traditional test of the rear axle as per the visual inspection/suspension measurement is not productive here. In order to get a clear finding for the torsion beam trailing arm, the following inspection instructions must be performed.
The test sequence is described for the left rear trailing arm. The test sequence for the right rear trailing arm is identical.
