The wishbone is connected to the shock absorber strut via the wheel hub bearing housing. Since the wheel hub bearing housing is connected to the shock absorber strut with bolts, using thinner bolts, the angle can be changed within certain limits (and thus the wheel alignment) between the shock absorber axle and the wheel bearing hub.
The upper support of the shock absorber strut is located in a correspondingly designed cap and is bolted to the body from the engine compartment side.
Torque from the engine is transmitted to the wheels via two cardan shafts, each of which has two constant velocity joints. Of the two transverse steering rods, only the right one can be used to adjust the wheel alignment.
A so-called positive chassis can be installed as a special or standard equipment. With this chassis, the shock absorber struts are connected to the front axle more rigidly, and the entire chassis is located lower.
Attention: Welding and straightening work on the load-bearing and guide parts of the front wheel suspensions is not permitted. Always replace the self-locking nuts in case of repair.
- 1 - bolts, 35 Nm
- 2 - ball joint
Check the rubber boot for damage; replace the ball joint if necessary.
The original can be seen on the portal www.VWmanual.ru
- 3 - shaped steel plate with nuts
Self-locking, always replace.
- 4 - spoiler (cowl)
Attaches to the wishbone with clamps.
- 5 - transverse lever
- 6 — rear wishbone bearing
The kidney-shaped notch faces the middle of the car. One of the arrows is pointing in the direction of the drive into the wishbone.
- 7 — bolt, M12x1.5x82, 50 Nm + 90° turn
- 8 — bolt, M 12x1.5x65, 70 Nm + 90° turn
- 9 — bolt, M12x1.5x78, 70 Nm + 90° turn
- 10 — front wishbone bearing
When installing, use only acid-free lubricant such as lubricating soap.
- 11 — connecting rod
The eye of the connecting rod points in the direction of rear travel.
- 12 — connecting rod bearing
The increased diameter faces the wishbone.
- 13 - washer
The protrusion faces away from the bearing.
- 14 - self-locking nut
- 15 — front axle beam
When removing the engine and gearbox, intercept. The beam together with the transverse levers without the steering gear is removed downwards using the VAG 1383 gearbox lift or a garage jack and a wooden spacer. After installation, check the position of the steering wheel and measure the parameters of the chassis of the car from the front. Align the power unit.
- 16 — bolt, 65 Nm
- 17 — stabilizer bearing
- 18 — stabilizer
- 19 — stabilizer clamp
Please note that the diameters vary depending on the vehicle model.
- 20 — bolt, 25 Nm
- 21 — shock absorber
Only with 4-cylinder engine. Pay attention to the installation position. The largest part should be located above the front axle beam.
- 22 - self-locking Thai, 25 Nm
- 23 - cap nut
