Coupling W/Bonded Bushings Replaces Coupling W/Ball Joints

From M. Y. 1999, Coupling With Bonded Rubber Bushings Replaces Coupling With Ball Joints

Coupling with ball joint





1. coupling with ball joint
2. track control link
3. self-locking hex nut 40 Nm + 90° (1/4 turn)
4. clip
5. self-locking hex nut, 100 Nm
6. stabilizer

Coupling with rubber bushings





- Coupling (A) for the left side of the vehicle
Arrow on coupling points in direction of travel
- Fixed spacing disc-1- on coupling must be put on stabilizer
- Coupling (B) for the right side of the vehicle
Arrow on coupling points in direction of travel
Arrow shows direction of travel.

Bonded rubber bushings can only be turned to a limited extent. The bolted connections on the suspension links should therefore only be tightened when the vehicle is standing on the ground.
