After removing the outer joint of the cardan shaft from the wheel bearing cap, tie the shaft at the top to the body. Fold the wheel hub bearing cover with the shock absorber strut outward and support it with block "1". Remove the lower engine cover.
Unscrew nuts "1" to the left and right. Remove the stabilizer connecting rod "3" to the left and right from the stabilizer "2". Fold the stabilizer upward.
After unscrewing screws "1", attach the power steering card with wire so that its position for assembly matches. Having liberated (centered) axle suspension mounting beam, lower it.
Installation
Important: Before installing the suspension mount beam mounting screws, the power steering housing must be installed onto the suspension mount beam and the power steering housing screws must be tightened. The driveshaft nuts should always be replaced with new ones.
After lifting the axle suspension mounting beam, screw it in place. After installing the power steering housing onto the suspension mounting beam, insert screws "1" and tighten. Install the stabilizer connecting rod "3" left and right into the stabilizer "2". Tighten the nuts "1" left and right. Insert the outer joint of the propeller shaft into the wheel hub bearing cap. Install the lower engine cover. Take measurements of the vehicle. Conduct a test run.
Caution: If after a test run and with the front wheels set to drive straight, the steering wheel is not in the correct position, the vehicle must be measured.
