Assembly and installation
Before assembly, lubricate the pendulum lever axle bushings and fill the space between them with Litol-24 grease. The order of assembly of the pendulum lever bracket is the reverse of disassembly. In this case, if axle 9 was replaced, tighten the self-locking nut 11 of the lever mount with a torque wrench. Install washer 6 with the protrusions facing up. After tightening nut 4, the lever in the horizontal position should not rotate under its own weight. It should rotate under a force of 1-2 kgf applied to its end. If nut 4 is overtightened, unscrew it, lift washer 6 and tighten it again.
After this, secure the bracket to the body side member with bolts, self-locking nuts and flat washers and connect the ball joints of the rods to the pendulum arm.
