Checking and wheels toe-in adjustment using on a process-
specialized stand. Carry out wheels toe-in adjustment at a
normal tyre air pressure. Adjust wheels toe-in adjusting steering
trapezoid rod length by nozzle 2 rotation (Fig. 9.27) after prior
loosening of left-handed thread counter nuts 1and right-handed
counter nuts 3. To complete adjustment, tighten counter nuts
(see Annex 2).
After every 15,000 km of total kilometres, carry out a wheels
swap for even tyre wear. Follow the same side rule: swap the
front and rear wheels on the same side. Do not use a spare
wheel. When swapping the wheels, ensure they are balanced.

the back door bracket by three nuts, depending on the package.
UAZ Pickup and UAZ Cargo

are placed at the
rear underbody part and should be securely fixed to the hold by
a sector.
Move the wheel away from exhaust manifold to a 40 mm
air gap prior to wheel adjustment to avoid a tyre burnout from
exhaust manifold when using exhaust system with rear wheels
exhaust pipe.
Wheel hubs
The presence of a gap in the bearings being checked by
rocking the wheel in the vertical plane
To change grease, remove the hub from the stub axle, remove
old grease, thoroughly wash the bearings and the cuff. Grease
the bearings and the working edge of the cuff. Fill the space
between the bearings rollers with the grease. Apply 10-15 mm
of grease between the bearings. Do not apply too much grease
into the hub to avoid its contact with break mechanisms.
Thoroughly adjust the bearings. If their tightening is loose,
the motor vehicle movement provokes shocks in them, and, as
a result, damages the bearings. If the tightening is too tough,
the bearings overheat, the grease leaks and the bearings break
