All
When compressing the spring, make sure that the rotation stop bolts do not rest against the thrust plate with the rotary support. VAS 6274/11-1-. The rotation stop of the thrust plate with locking device -VAS 6274/11-2- must also not rest against the thrust plate with rotating support -VAS 6274/11-1-. The anti-rotation protection -2- is in position approx. "10 hours" on the left coil spring and approx. "2 hours" on the right coil spring (see the correct position in the -figure- on the right). When compressing using the spindle -3-, make sure that the bush -4- does not slip out of the pressure plate with articulated support -VAS 6274/11-1-. Loosen spring compression system -VAS 6274 and remove coil spring with spring compressor.
If necessary, compress the coil spring -2- a little more using the spindle -1-. In this case, the lead screw -1 - should protrude above the lead spring -2- only by an amount that still allows the spring plate to be completely placed on top of the spring.
Install the coil spring with spring support -3- and stone guard -1 - onto the steering knuckle -2-. Check that the upper spring plate is installed and install if necessary.
Insert the lower spring support -arrow A- into the hole -arrow B- in the steering knuckle.
Rotate the coil spring -1- until it stops in the spring support -2-.
Then release the coil spring. Tighten the wheel. It is necessary to adjust the wheel alignment angles. On vehicles with electronic damping control, adapting the adjustment position and checking the main headlight adjustments is usually necessary when replacing 1 or both coil springs. After removing and installing the vehicle level sensor or loosening the linkages on vehicles with electronic damping control, the standard suspension position must be re-adjusted. After recalibrating the adjustment position on vehicles with lane assist, the lane departure warning control unit -J759- must be recalibrated.
