Warning! Before raising the rear of the vehicle, engage 1st gear and chock the front wheels. With the rear end raised, place secure supports next to the jack. It is impossible to install supports under the rear suspension beam, since the suspension must be unloaded.
You will need: keys «at 17», «at 19», screwdriver.
1. Remove the protective cap of the upper strut mount in the trunk, unscrew the nut of the upper strut mount, holding the shock absorber rod from turning, and remove the support washer with the upper cushion.
2. 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).
3. Turn away a nut of the bottom fastening of the shock-absorber and take out a bolt.
4. Lower the shock absorber and remove the lower cushion with the support washer and spacer from the shock absorber rod through the coils of the spring.
5. Push down the shock absorber rod.
6. Remove spring with protective boot, cover and compression buffer.
7. Take out the shock-absorber from a niche of a back wheel.
8. Remove the insulating gasket from the upper spring seat (if she didn't stay on the spring).
9. Remove the boot from the spring and remove the compression stroke buffer from it.
10. Check the shock absorber in the same way as the front suspension shock absorber.
11. Replace the defective rubber-metal bushing of the lower shock absorber mounting.
12. Replace torn or loose cushions.
13. Replace the torn cover. When replacing the case, remove the cover from the case.
14. Replace broken or damaged compression stroke buffer.
15. Replace the torn or loose insulating gasket.
16. Replace the spring if cracks or coil distortion are found on it. Check the draft of the spring, for which three times «press» spring until the coils touch.
Then apply a load of 3188 N to the spring (325 kgf). The length of the spring H under the specified load must be at least 201 mm (182 mm - for cars supplied for export).
If the length of the yellow marked spring (class A) less than 207 mm (188 mm - for cars supplied for export), replace it with a spring marked green (class B).
Compress the spring along the axis of the spring, and the supporting surfaces must correspond to the surfaces of the supporting cups of the shock absorbers and the body. It is recommended to replace both rear suspension springs, the springs must be of the same group.
17. Assemble the rack in the reverse order of disassembly. When installing the cover on the casing, tuck its edge onto the cover flange.
18. Install the insulating gasket on the spring first so that the end of the spring rests on the protrusion of the gasket. Attach the spacer to the spring with electrical tape so that it does not come off when the spring is installed.
19. Fasten the stand and put on the protective cover with a cover. Pull out the shock absorber rod and install the lower cushion with the support washer and spacer on it.
Note. The shock absorber rod can be easily pulled out by screwing a nut onto it.
20. Install the spring on the post so that the beginning of the first coil falls into the punching in the lower cup.
21. Place a jack under the beam to compress the spring when installing the strut. Gradually raising the beam with a jack and thereby compressing the spring, insert the shock absorber rod into the opening of the body arch.
22. Install the upper cushion with a washer on the shock absorber rod and tighten the nut of the upper strut mount, holding the rod from turning with the second key.
23. Lower the car to the ground, rock it hard several times. Tighten relevant moments of the nut of the lower shock absorber mounting to the beam - 68–84 N·m (6.8–8.4 kgf·m), a nut of the top fastening of the shock-absorber - 51–63 N·m (5.1–6.3 kgf·m). After a run of 100 km, re-tighten these threaded connections to the required torque.
