2. After bending the locking plates, unscrew the bolts that secure the caliper to the bracket. Move the caliper aside and secure it so that it does not hang on the hoses. Remove the shock absorbers with brackets.
3. Disconnect the ends of the stabilizer bar from the lower control arms.
4. Using puller 67.7801.9513, press the pins out of the lever holes and move the steering rods to the side.
5. Insert screw 2 of device 67.7828.9504 into the hole of the upper support of the suspension spring, then put support plate 3 on the spring coil 1 and on screw 2 from below and secure it to the spring with a clamp. Screw a nut onto the screw from below so that the nut lock fits into the socket of plate 3. Turn screw 2 with a wrench to compress the suspension spring until the suspension arms are completely unloaded.
6. Remove the upper control arm axle and disconnect it from the body. Disconnect the lower control arm axle from the cross member and remove the suspension assembly from the vehicle.
7. Remove the spring, smoothly unload it, remove the device and repeat the operations for the other suspension unit.
8. Remove the engine splash guard and stabilizer bar.
9. Supporting the engine with a crossmember A.70526 or a hoist, remove the crossmember.
10. Install suspension components and parts in the reverse order of removal. Install only Group A springs on the front and rear suspensions (are marked with yellow paint on the outer surface of the turns). In exceptional cases, installation of group B springs on the rear suspension is permitted (are marked with green paint).
11. To prevent incorrect distribution of forces in the rubber-metal hinges, tighten the nuts and lever axles in the following order:
- place the car on a level surface and position the wheels parallel to the car's axis;
- load the vehicle with a load of 3136 N (320 kgf) (four people and 40 kg in the trunk);
- under these conditions, tighten the nuts securing the axles of the upper and then the lower arms and the nuts securing the axle of the lower arm to the crossmember with a torque wrench.
12. Check and adjust the front wheel alignment angles.
