Front Wheel Drive Maintenance (VAZ-2109)

Front wheel drives operate under the most severe and unfavorable conditions, as they are located in the zone of greatest exposure to moisture and dirt and transmit torque to the wheels under constantly changing angles and loads. High precision manufacturing of the hinge parts, the use of high-quality materials and lubricants ensure reliable operation of the unit in these conditions, but only if the seals are kept tight. Therefore, maintenance of the front wheel drive is mainly limited to periodic inspection and checking the condition of the protective covers.

After the first 2,000 km, and then every 15,000 km, check the condition of the protective covers and the absence of extraneous knocks and noises. Replace damaged covers with new ones, after washing and checking the condition of the hinge and replacing the grease. If the car was driven on an unimproved road, inspect the covers after each such trip.
