Note.
When removing the upper arm shaft, note the amount
and arrangement of washers between the upper arm shaft and
the crossmember, and also the number of shims between the
crossmember and car body chassis arm, so that at refitting all
washers and shims will be properly replaced.
Disconnect the engine mounting rubber pads from the cross-
member brackets.
Place a hydraulic jack with a fixing tool under the suspension
crossmember, support the engine with arm 67.7820.9514 or
hoist, disconnect the recoil bumper bracket 47 and the cross-
member from the body chassis.
Remove the crossmember 1 in assembly with lower arms 4.
The installation of suspension parts and units is done in
reverse order. The springs on the suspension should be installed
only of one class (class
A
- not marked or has marks by white
paint, class
B
- with black marks on the outer surface of the coils).
It is permissible to install springs of A class on the front suspen-
sion, if B class springs are fitted on the rear suspension.
After reassembly and suspension refitting, check the wheel
alignment angles and toe-in.
Suspension units - dismantle and reassembly
Dismantle.
If the suspension repair requires complete dis-
mantle of the units, it is more convenient to begin directly on the
vehicle after removing the crankcase protective plate and the
splash guard.
Proceed as follows:
- undo the upper balljoint 41 (see fig. 4-1) pin nut and remove
the clips from hoses;
- unbend the protective casing blades, turn out the fastening
bolt of the caliper carrier and move the whole assembly aside;
ATTENTION. To avoid damaging the hoses do not leave
the caliper to hang on hoses.
- using tool 67.7823.9514 remove the hub cap and undo the
wheel hub bearing nut;
