Installing the lever axle into the rubber-metal support
1 – front suspension beam bracket; 2 – rubber-metal support; 3 – lever axis; 4 – lever; A, B – mating surfaces of the lever axis and support
1.Loosen the bolts 9 (see figureFront suspension parts) fastening of the corresponding wheel.
2. Unscrew hub nut 10.
3. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely.
4. Remove the front wheel by completely unscrewing its mounting bolts.
5. Remove the engine crankcase mudguard.
6. Mark the position of bolts 2 (see figure Ball joint mounting) fastening the ball joint on the suspension arm 1, tracing the contours of the bolt heads. This will help to approximately maintain the wheel alignment angles after assembly. Unscrew bolts 2 securing ball joint 3 to the lever.
7. Using a special puller 1 (see figure Pressing out the splined end of the outer CV joint from the hub) Press the splined end of the outer CV joint out of the hub of the second wheel. If you don't have a puller, this can be done by hammering through a wooden spacer on the end of the splined end. Hang the wheel drive from the body using wire.
8. After moving pillar 2 towards you, install a wooden spacer 1 between it and the body.
9. Unscrew two bolts 2 (see the figure Fastening the stabilizer cushion clip) fastening to bracket 1 of clip 5 (see figure Front suspension beam parts) anti-roll bar cushions.
10. Unscrew one nut at a time 1 (see the figure Attaching the strut to the anti-roll bar) fasteners and disconnect the struts 3 from the stabilizer bar 2 on both sides of the suspension.
11. Unscrew bolts 1 (see the figure Fastening the steering gear to the front suspension beam) fastening the steering gear to beam 2 of the front suspension.
12. Secure the steering gear with wire.
13. Unscrew the two bolts 3 securing the rear support 2 of the power unit to the gearbox (see subsection 7.1.2.1).
14. Place a secure support under the front suspension beam.
15. Unscrew bolt 4 (see the figure Front suspension beam mount) on the left side of the beam. Screw in the centering pin 6 (T10096) instead and tighten to a torque of 20 Nm.
16. Unscrew bolt 4 on the right side of the beam. Screw in the centering pin 6 (T10096) instead and tighten to a torque of 20 Nm.
17. Unscrew bolts 1 on both sides.
18. Unscrew bolt 2 on the left side of the beam and remove bracket 5. Instead of bolt 2, screw in centering pin 6.
19. Remove the support and lower the beam by approximately 40 mm. Make sure there is no tension on the power steering lines.
20. Unscrew bolt 1 (see figure Attaching the control arm to the front suspension beam) fastening the lever 2 to the beam 3 of the front suspension.
21.Remove lever 12 (see figureFront suspension beam parts) together with bracket 20.
22. Disconnect the lever from the bracket by pressing the lever axle out of the rubber-metal support of the bracket using a puller.
23. Lubricate the lever axle with graphite grease.
24. Clamp the bracket in a vice with soft metal jaws.
25. Insert the lever axle manually into the hexagonal hole of the rubber-metal support bracket in accordance with the figure Installing the lever axle into the rubber-metal support (surfaces A and B must coincide). Make sure that the axle fits into the hole without any gaps, i.e. it does not rotate in it. Otherwise, the support must be replaced (see subsection 7.2.6).
26. Install the suspension arm and bracket onto the vehicle in reverse order, replacing the suspension mounting bolts with new ones. Bolts 21 and 22 (see figure Front suspension beam parts) screw in in the following sequence: screw in bolt 22 by hand, then bolts 21 by hand, then tighten evenly one after the other. Final tightening of suspension threaded connections occurs with the vehicle on the ground. Check and adjust wheel alignment if necessary.
