16. Install the anti-roll bar with the lugs up and, pulling back, remove from the mounts on the subframe.
Installation
1. Install the anti-roll bar in the mountings on the subframe.
2. Install new anti-roll bar mounting clamp bolts and tighten to the correct torque as shown in the figure below.
3. Using a hydraulic jack, raise the front suspension subframe assembly and temporarily install the steering assembly on it.
Note.
- Before installing the bolts of fastening the front suspension subframe assembly to the car body, it is necessary to install the steering gear assembly and fix it with new fastening bolts, tightening them with the required tightening torque.
- Check and make sure that the steering gear seal mounted on the body cross member is properly installed.
4. Install and tighten by hand the mounting bolts shown in the figure below by arrows.
5. Raise the front suspension subframe assembly until it touches the body.
6. Tighten the mounting bolts (arrows in the picture above) steering gear assembly to the subframe with the required tightening torque.
Note. Loosen the bolts of the special tools (Т10096) And (Т10486/1). Install and tighten new bolts securing the front suspension subframe to the vehicle body.
7. Unscrew the left mounting bolt (1) from special tool T10096, screw in its place a new bolt of fastening of the front suspension subframe. Tighten the subframe bolt to the required torque.
8. Unscrew the right mounting bolt (1) from special tool T10096 (bolt not shown), screw in its place a new bolt of fastening of the front suspension subframe. Tighten the subframe bolt to the required torque.
9. Unscrew the left mounting bolt (2) from special tool T10486/1, as shown in the figure below.
10. Install the left support.
11. Install and tighten by hand the rear bolts of the left support.

14. Unscrew the right mounting bolt (2) special tool Т10486/1 (not shown in the picture below).
15. Install the right support.
16. Install the right support mounting bolts, tighten the rear mounting bolt by hand.
17. Install and tighten the new subframe-to-body assembly bolt. then tighten it and the bolt of the right support with the required tightening torque.
18. Tighten the rear bolt of the right support with the required tightening torque.
19. Remove from under the car a special hydraulic jack together with a support.
20. Mount the oscillating support on the gearbox, install and tighten the bolts (1) And (2) fasten it with the required tightening torque as shown in the figure below.
Note. Mounting bolt (1) must be installed in an elongated hole so that the distance from the gearbox to the front suspension subframe is maximum.
21. Connect the hinges of the racks on the right and left sides (3) to anti-roll bar (2), as shown in the figure below.
