Description of the design
Rear suspension – dependent with coil springs and hydraulic shock absorbers.
The rear axle beam is secured to the body by four longitudinal (reactive) and one crossbar on rubber-metal hinges of the same design (silent blocks).
(The original can be seen on the website: VAZbook)
The lower ends of the springs rest through plastic gaskets in cups welded to the rear axle beam, and the upper ends - through rubber vibration-insulating gaskets, in the body. The compression stroke of the springs is limited by cylindrical stops, which are part of the car body. Rubber buffers are installed on the ends of the stops.
An additional compression buffer is mounted on a bracket above the gearbox housing.
The shock absorbers are mounted on detachable rubber-metal hinges - with the upper lugs to the studs on the body brackets, and the lower lugs to the brackets on the rear axle beam.
