Warning! Do not operate the vehicle with defective suspension parts: this will impair handling and negatively affect traffic safety.
Attention! Replace torn, cracked and elastic protective covers, otherwise dirt, dust and water will quickly put the ball joints out of order.
1. Check the condition of the protective boots of the front suspension ball joints. If the boots are torn, cracked or the rubber has lost elasticity, replace the joint assembly.
2. Inspect the control arms and tie rods. If they are cracked or bent, replace these parts.
3. Inspect the anti-roll bar. A bent bar must be replaced. Replace torn or cracked cushions, as well as those with broken holes for the anti-roll bar.
4. Check the condition of the stabilizer bar cushions. Replace cushions with a broken hole for the stabilizer bar or squeezed out on one side, as well as if they are torn or cracked.
5. Inspect the rubber-metal hinges of the front...
6....and the rear suspension. Replace joints with torn, cracked or rubber squeezed out on one side.
7. Check the axial play in the lever hinge. To do this, vigorously rock the lever along the hinge axis with a crowbar. If there is play, replace the hinge.
8. Inspect the rear shock absorber lower mount bushings. Replace any that are torn, cracked, or pushed out on one side.
9. Check the condition of the shock absorber protective cover. If the cover is torn, replace it.
