Installing a coil spring (VW Touareg 1)

Insert the upper support 2 into the upper cup 1 (Fig. 4.82).



In this case, the protrusion of arrow A should coincide with the recess - arrow B.

Place the spring on the lower bracket VAS 6046/3.

Ensure that the spring is correctly positioned in the VAS 6046/3 holder (fig. 4.81).

The upper cup must be installed on the spring so that the protrusion is opposite the fastening of the connecting rod 1 (Fig. 4.83).



The cent lines A and B must be parallel to each other.

The end of the spring should be in contact with the stop of the upper support 1 (Fig. 4.84).



Make sure that the dust boot is clamped in the upper cup of spring 2.



Tighten a new hex nut onto the piston rod.
