Installing the front suspension (VAZ-21061)

The front suspension of the car is equipped with only group "A" springs with yellow markings on the outer surface of the coils.

For proper and long-lasting operation of rubber-metal hinges, their nuts should be finally tightened on a fully loaded vehicle standing on a level surface, in the following sequence: first tighten the nuts securing the upper, then the lower levers.

After replacing the front suspension parts, the rubber-metal hinges should be "warmed up" by taking a test drive of 15–20 km, and it is imperative to check and then, if necessary, adjust the front wheel alignment angles.
