Wheel Bearing In Curb Weight, Lifting Vehicles With Coil Spring

Wheel Bearing in Curb Weight, Lifting Vehicles with Coil Spring

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Engine-/Gearbox Jack (V.A.G 1383 A)

• Tensioning Strap (T10038)

• Wheel Hub Support (T10149)

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

Bonded rubber bushings can only be turned to a limited extent.

Parts with bonded rubber bushings must therefore be brought into a position that corresponds to the position in driving mode before being tightened (curb weight position).

Otherwise, the bonded rubber bushing will be stressed resulting in a shortened service life.

By raising the appropriate suspension using (V.A.G 1383 A) and (T10149) , this position can be simulated on the hoist.

- Before starting work, take measurement - a -, for example with a tape measure, from the center of the wheel to the lower edge of wheelhouse.






Measurement must be performed in curb weight position (unloaded condition).

- Note measured value. It will be required for tightening bolts/nuts.

Before individual suspension is raised on one side, the vehicle must be secured to hoist lifting arms using (T10038).

If a vehicle is not secured, there is danger that the vehicle could slip off the lift!

- Wheel, removing

- Turn the wheel hub until one of the holes for the wheel bolts is on top.

- Install (T10149) with the wheel bolt on wheel hub.

• Tightening of the respective bolts/nuts must then only occur after dimension - a -, which was measured before installation between the wheel hub center and the lower edge of wheel housing, has been attained.

- Using (V.A.G 1383 A) , lift the wheel bearing housing until dimension - a - is reached.






• Do not lift or lower the vehicle with (V.A.G 1383 A) below vehicle.

• Do not leave (V.A.G 1383 A) below vehicle any longer than necessary.

- Tighten respective bolts/nuts.

- Lower wheel bearing housing.

- Move engine and transmission jack away from under vehicle.

- Remove (T10149).
