Is spraying copper grease onto a brake disk not advisable?
Should the bolt tightening sequence involve a torque setting operation followed by an angle tightening operation?

Basically the same instructions for the Polo III 6N2, regarding the need to lift the engine a little bit to remove the front screw for the suspension arm.

Thanks for the video. Could replacing just the lower arm bushes affect the tracking/put the steering wheel out of alignment?
