Wheel Bearing In Curb Weight Position, Lifting Vehicles With Coil Spring
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Engine and Gearbox Jack:VAS 6931
- Tensioning Strap:T10038
- Engine/Gearbox Jack - Gearbox Support:T10337
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:VAS 6931 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 .
Vehicle not tied down on the hoist.
Vehicle can slip off the hoist.
- Secure the vehicle as described in the procedure on the hoist.
-- Tie down the vehicle using the Tensioning Strap:T10038 on both sides of the axle to the arm of the hoist.
- Tensioning Strap:T10038
The applicable bolts/nuts must only be tightened when dimension between the center of the wheel hub and the lower edge of the wheel housing has been reached:
The dimension is dependent on the height of the installed suspension:
1) The type of vehicle suspension is indicated on the vehicle data label. The suspension is indicated by a PR number. Allocation of the PR number according to the suspension. Refer to VEHICLE DATA LABEL .

- The illustration here shows the operation as an example.
-- Attach the Engine/Gearbox Jack - Gearbox Support:T10337 -B- on the Engine and Gearbox Jack:VAS 6931 -A-.
-- Lift the suspension using the Engine and Gearbox Jack:VAS 6931 until dimension -a- is reached.
Risk of damaging by by lowering the hoist when the transmission jack is still underneath.
- Do not leave the Engine and Gearbox Jack:VAS 6931 under the vehicle any longer than necessary.
-- Tighten the applicable bolts and nuts.
-- Lower the suspension.
-- Pull the Engine and Gearbox Jack:VAS 6931 out from under the vehicle.
