CAUTION:

All bolts on suspension components with bonded rubber bushings must always be tightened in curb weight position (unloaded condition).

Bonded rubber bushings have a limited range of rotation.

Axle components with bonded rubber bushings must be brought into the position they will be in when driving before they are tightened (curb weight position).

Otherwise, the bonded rubber bushing will have tension, which will reduce the service life.

By raising the corresponding suspension using the Engine and Gearbox Jack: VAS6931 this position can be simulated on the hoist.

Before the applicable suspension is raised, the vehicle must be secured to the hoist lifting arms using Tensioning Strap: T10038 .

CAUTION:

The vehicle could slide off the hoist if it is not secured.

- Secure the vehicle on the hoist.

-- Tie down the vehicle using the Tensioning Strap: T10038 on both sides of the axle to the arm of the hoist.
