The need to replace rubber-metal hinges is determined by the signs indicated above, in subsection 6.1.2.
The joints can be replaced either directly on the vehicle or on the levers removed from the vehicle.
Replacement
Rubber-metal hinges of lower arms
1. Place the vehicle on a pit or lift and raise the front of the vehicle on the side where the replacement will be performed.
2. Remove the wheel.
3. After unscrewing the nut, press out the ball joint pin of the steering rod using puller A.47052 and move the free end of the side rod back.
4. Loosen the nuts securing the lower control arm to the axle and remove the washers from both ends of the axle.
5. Install glass 3 (see fig. Diagram of pressing out the lower arm joint using the device 02.7823.9500) fixture 02.7823.9500 on the shelf of the lever 4 and screw screw 1 onto the end of the axis 6;
6. Holding screw 1 with a handle and turning nut 2, move the lever eye from the outer ring of the hinge. Remove the device and the pressed-out hinge 5 from the lever axis.
7. Using a crowbar or tire iron, position the lever eye so that it is concentric with the lever axis, insert the new hinge into the hole in the lever eye and place it on the axis.
8. Place ring 2 on the end of the axle (see fig. Diagram of pressing the lower arm joint using the device 02.7823.9501) fixture 02.7823.9501 and insert stop 5 between shelf 4 and the nearest axle mounting nut to the front suspension crossmember.
9. Rotate nut 1 and hold stop 5, press new joint 3 into the lever eye. Remove the device, install the washer and nut for fastening the lever to the axle. Do not tighten the nut.
10. Other rubber-metal joints of the lower suspension arms are replaced in a similar manner.
11. After replacing the joints, connect the steering rod to the steering knuckle arm, tighten and cotter pin the steering rod ball joint nut, install and secure the wheel.
Rubber-to-metal joints of upper arms
12. Replace the rubber-metal joints of the upper suspension arms using the A.47046 tool in the same way as on the removed arms (see subsection 6.1.9.3).
13. Unscrew the nut of the upper arm axle and, having removed the axle, turn the arm with the eyes outward.
14. Install glass 3 on the lever (see fig. Upper arm hinge pressing diagram) device A.47046 with nut 2 and bolt 1 with the head inside the lever. Rotate nut 2, press out the hinge, remove the device and the hinge.
15. Insert the new joint into the lever eye, install the device A.47046 so that the head of bolt 1 (see fig. Upper arm joint pressing diagram) was directed outward and ring 2 of device A.47046 was located under the head. By turning nut 6, press the hinge and remove the device.
16. The other joints of the upper arms of the front suspension are replaced in a similar manner.
17. After replacing the hinges, turn the upper arm with the eyes towards the front pillar, slide it onto the pillar, insert the upper arm axle, install the washer and axle nut without tightening it completely.
18. Install the wheels, lower the vehicle and tighten the control arm axle nuts. Before tightening the nuts, perform all the operations described earlier (see subsection 6.1.7).
19. After replacing the rubber-metal hinges, take a test drive of 15–20 km and be sure to check and, if necessary, adjust the front wheel alignment angles.
