The rear suspension is dependent, with helical coil springs and double-acting hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers. All suspension elements are attached to brackets on the rear axle beam.
The two lower longitudinal bars prevent the longitudinal movement of the beam, the two upper ones prevent the beam from twisting around the axle under the action of traction and braking forces on the rear wheels. cross bar («panhard thrust») limits the displacement of the beam in the transverse direction. The other ends of the rods are attached to the brackets on the car body. Rubber-metal hinges are pressed into the lugs at the ends of the rods. They can be replaced separately, provided that the lugs themselves are not worn. Deformed rods can be straightened. Tighten the bolts of the rods only in the position «car on wheels», while the distance from the bridge beam to the side member above it should be 152 mm.
The shock absorbers are attached with the lower part to the brackets on the rear axle beam, the upper part - to the fingers on the cross member of the body floor through rubber cushions with spacer bushings and washers. Tighten the shock absorber mounting bolts only in the position «car on wheels».
The suspension spring rests on the lower and upper cups. A plastic gasket is installed in the lower support cup welded to the rear axle beam. The upper end of the spring rests through a rubber gasket on the upper support cup welded to the body.
A compression buffer bracket is also welded to it. At maximum suspension travel, the rubber buffer rests against the lower spring cup. When replacing springs, make sure they are of the same grade (class A - without marking, class B - with a black stripe on the outer surface of the turns, has a shorter length under load). It is allowed to install class A springs on the front suspension and class B on the rear, but not vice versa.
