Overhaul






Subframe

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Installation device (3372)

Thrust Plate (VW 401)

Punch (VW 407)

Thrust Piece (VW 432)

Assembly tool (T10214)

Assembly Tool (T10267) with adapter (T10267/1A)

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Tube from assembly tool (T10244/3)

Pressing Out The Bonded Rubber Mount

- Remove the subframe. Refer to => [ Subframe without Steering Gear ] Subframe without Steering Gear.

- Install Assembly Tool (T10267) - 4 - on subframe. Secure safety bolts using securing pins.






1. Punch (VW 407)

2. Thrust Piece (3372/1)

3. Thrust Plate (VW 401)

4. Assembly tool (T10267)

5. Tube (T10244/3)


- Press out both bonded rubber bushings at the same time as depicted in the illustration.

Flat side of thrust piece (3372/1) must face insert - A - of assembly tool (T10267) , otherwise insert may be damaged.

Tube (T10244/3) has a larger and a smaller inner diameter. Subframe must contact larger inner diameter of tube (T10244/3).

Installing The Bonded Rubber Bushing

- Bolt both bonded rubber bushings with original bolt, cutouts - arrows - must align when doing this.






- Insert bolted bonded rubber bushings, with bolt head downward, into large diameter of tube (T10214/2).

2. Thrust piece (T10214/3) without bolts

3. Bonded Rubber Bushing

4. Tube (T10214/2)

5. Tube (T10214/1)

6. Thrust Plate (VW 401)


- Press bonded rubber bushing - 1 - in until dimension - a - has been obtained.






Dimension - a - = 2 - 3 mm.

There are two different versions of the pendulum support bonded rubber bushing: the T version - I - and the V version - II -.






Allocation, refer to the Parts Catalog.

I The corners on the inner core - 1 - face toward the opening for the pendulum support - arrow - (T version).
II The corners on the inner core - 2 - face away from the opening for the pendulum support - arrow - (V version).

T version of the bonded rubber bushing






- Align tube (T10214/2) on subframe with pressed in bonded rubber bushings.

The corners on the inner core of the bonded rubber bushing - arrows - must face toward the traverse (T10267) - 1 -.

The corners on the inner core of the bonded rubber bushing - arrows - must lie parallel with the edge of the traverse (T10267) - 1 -.

Distance - a - must be identical at left and right to guarantee parallelism.

V version of the bonded rubber bushing






- Align tube (T10214/2) on subframe with pressed in bonded rubber bushings.

The corners on the inner core of the bonded rubber bushing - arrows - must face away from the traverse (T10267) - 1 -.

The corners on the inner core of the bonded rubber bushing - arrows - must lie parallel with the edge of the traverse (T10267) - 1 -.

Distance - a - must be identical at left and right to guarantee parallelism.

Procedure for both versions

- Subframe makes contact on smaller inner diameter of tube (T10244/3).

- Press in bearing on stop and until a pressing force of 20 kN has been obtained.






1. Punch (VW 407)

2. Thrust Piece (T10214/3)

3. Tube (T10214/2)

4. Assembly tool (T10267)

5. Tube (T10214/1)


- Remove assembly tool (T10267) from subframe and check seating of the pressed in bonded rubber bushing.

The outer diameter - 1 - of both bonded rubber bushings must project up to 2 mm beyond edge in area of opening for pendulum support.






Cutouts of bonded rubber bushings must lie at center in opening of subframe.

Gap - arrow - between bonded rubber bushings is permissible.

- Install subframe Subframe without Steering Gear.
