The location of the front suspension on the car (engine crankcase protection removed for clarity): 1 - telescopic stand; 2 - brace bracket; 3 - stretching; 4 – front suspension arm; 5 - ball joint of the lever; 6 – rotary fist; 7 – a rack of the stabilizer of cross stability; 8 – a bar of the stabilizer of cross stability.
You will need: keys «at 17», «at 19», «at 13», a wrench for the upper mounting of the shock absorber, devices for screeding the strut spring.
1. Remove the protective cap from the top rack mount.
2. Loosen the top nut of the shock absorber rod with a special wrench.
Helpful advice. Purchase a special wrench for the upper shock mount nut. Without it, it is quite difficult to loosen the nut.
3. Brake the vehicle with the parking brake and set the wheel chocks («shoes») under the rear wheels. Raise the front of the vehicle with a jack and place it on stands. Remove the wheel.
Warning! Loosen and tighten the wheel bolts only with the vehicle on the ground. Bolt tightening torque 65–95 Nm (6.5–9.5 kgf·m).
4. Remove the cotter pin of the nut that secures the tie rod ball joint to the swing arm.
5. Turn away a nut of fastening of the spherical hinge of steering draft and press out a hinge pin from the rotary lever.
6. Take out from an arm a rubber sealant together with a brake hose.
7. Mark the position of the eccentric (top bolt) relative to the rack bracket.
Note.
This is what an eccentric bolt looks like.
8. Turn away two nuts and take out both bolts of fastening.
9. Remove the steering knuckle eye from the rack bracket.
10. Turn away three nuts of the top fastening of a rack.
11. Pull the strut down through the wheel well.
12. Install the telescoping pole in the reverse order of removal. When installing the old rack, turn the eccentric washer in accordance with the marks made earlier and, holding the adjusting bolt in this position from turning, tighten the nut of its fastening. After installation, check and, if necessary, adjust the toe and camber of the steered wheels.
