Greasing bonded rubber bushing
- Grease bonded rubber bushing kidney shaped cavity with
assembly paste G 052 150 A2 before installing rear axle.
If rear axle is not "lubricated" when installed, it will be
noisy when driving.
Tightening bearing bracket is only possible, when the
measured value - a - from middle of wheel hub to lower
edge bordering wheel housing is reached.
Otherwise the bonded rubber bushing will be distorted,
resulting in reduced service life.

12 o'clock position.
- Install wheel hub support T10149 with a wheel bolt.

engine/transmission jack until dimension - a - is reached.

tightening torque.
