…we tighten the spring with two special clamps (see Applications).
Instead of ties, you can use two or three strong clamps that are inserted from two opposite sides into the spring compressed by the weight of the car. When hanging the wheel, they will not allow the spring to fully expand.
Warning! A compressed spring is dangerous, so in addition to the ties, its coils should be tied with steel wire.
Using our hands, we push the rear axle beam down and remove the spring.
A plastic gasket is placed under the lower part of the spring, and a rubber vibration-insulating gasket is installed on top.

We check the condition of the rubber gaskets and, if necessary, replace them with new ones.
We install the spring in the reverse order of removal.
We replace the second spring in the same way.
We install both springs of the same group (with marking on the outer surface of the turns with paint of one color).
Class A springs are installed on the VAZ-2106 (yellow). In exceptional cases, installation of class B springs is permitted (green).
If necessary (cracks, delaminations) we replace the compression stroke buffer, wetting it with a soap solution before installation.
