The rear suspension is completely removed from the car only to replace a damaged rear axle beam. You can repair or replace all other elements of the rear suspension without removing it from the car.
1. Install the couplers on the springs, raise the rear of the car until the wheels are off the ground, place it on stands and remove the suspension springs with rubber gaskets (see subsection 5.2.2.).
2. Disconnect the front ends of the parking brake cables from the equalizer and remove the bushings of the cable sheath tips from the bracket (see subsection 7.4.1.).
3. Disconnect the brake hoses on both sides of the beam from the brake pipes going to the wheel cylinders of the rear wheel brakes (see subsection 7.3.6 for details.). Plug the openings of the tubes with the caps of the air release valves.
4. Lower the rear of the vehicle until the wheels touch the ground, place on supports in this position and unscrew the nuts of the bolts securing the suspension arms to the body brackets.
5. Knock out the bolts and roll out the rear suspension beam with brakes, tubes, hoses and cables from under the car.
6. If necessary, remove the rubber rear suspension compression buffers from the body brackets. Replace severely deformed buffers.
7. When using a lift to raise the car, before disconnecting the suspension arms from the body brackets, substitute supports under the spring cups of the arms, remove the wheels and dismantle the suspension beam with an assistant.
8. Install the rear suspension in the reverse order of removal. Finally tighten the bolts of the suspension arms to the body brackets and the lower ends of the shock absorbers to the arms only after the suspension is loaded with the mass of the equipped vehicle, otherwise the silent blocks and rubber bushings will twist excessively during operation and quickly fail.
