Protect rubber parts, bushings and protective coatings from solvents when washing.
Springs
Basic data for checking the rear suspension spring
1. Check the elastic characteristics of the springs at the control points, having previously compressed them three times until the coils touch.
Attention! Rear suspension springs for VAZ-2101 and VAZ-21011 vehicles are classified by length under load 2989 N (305 kgf): group A - length more than 273 mm, group B - length less than 273 mm. They are marked in the same way as the front suspension springs.
2. Check for spring deformation. If the elasticity does not match the data in the figure or deformations can cause the spring to fail, replace it.
3. Check up a condition of rubber basic linings of springs; if necessary, replace them with new ones.
Barbells
1. Check if the rods are deformed; straighten them if possible.
2. Are there any cracks on the brackets of the rear axle beam and body; if cracks are found, repair the brackets.
3. The condition of the elastic bushings of the rod hinges; if necessary, replace them with new ones using tool kit 67.7820.9517.
