1. Nut (T10230/2)

2. Press piece (T10230/4)

3. Lower control arm

4. Tube (T10230/5)

5. Thrust plate (T10230/7)

6. Hydraulic press (VAS 6178) with pressure head (T10205/13)

CAUTION!
Before removing, place engine and transmission jack (VAG 1383 A) with universal mount underneath cylinder, cylinder may fall down at end of pressing out procedure.

Installing

- Attach tools onto lower control arm, as shown in illustration.





1. Nut (T10230/2)

2. Press piece (T10230/8)

3. Lower control arm

4. Bonded rubber bushing

5. Press piece (T10230/6)

6. Thrust plate (T10230/7)

7. Hydraulic press (VAS 6178) with pressure head (T10205/13)

- Press in bonded rubber bushing until seated.

By doing this, core of bonded rubber bushing is pressed in by thrust piece (T10230/6) more than might be required. However, this is necessary so that bonded rubber bushing lip makes contact with control arm on outside. After loosening hydraulic cylinder (VAS 6178), bonded rubber bushing core settles into correct position.

- Install control arm to subframe.

- Perform vehicle alignment. Refer to --> [ Wheel Alignment ] Wheel Alignment.
