5 - outer sealing ring; 6 - inner sealing ring; 7 - ball joint; 8 - ball bearing; 9 - outer casing of oil seal case; 10 - clamping sleeve; 11 -
gasket; 12 - lining; 13 - nut
If the reference parameter is not achieved, retighten the clamping sleeve by turning the wrench 10-
20° more and
tighten the nut 13 with the specified torque strength.
If the gap cannot be adjusted by tightening the threaded bushing, the pin bushings must be replaced. To do this, you
should visit the "UAZ" service station.
CHASSIS
Suspension
CAUTION! In order to avoid injuries, it is strictly forbidden to disassemble the shock absorbers.
It is prohibited to operate a vehicle without or with failed shock absorbers, as well as with worn suspension joints.
During each maintenance check the tightening of spring axle nuts 23 (Fig. 9.21) and handle bar nuts 14 (Fig. 9.21),
step nuts 15 (Fig. 9.20) (for vehicle without ABS), 19 (Fig. 9.21) (see Annex 2), condition of rubber-metal joints and
stabilizer pads and inspect springs and shock absorbers. Lubricate the springs at least once a year to prevent corrosion,
which is the main cause of spring failures, and to eliminate spring creaking. In few-leaf spring it is sufficient to apply
lubricant to the surfaces of the bearing ends of the spring, as well as between the clamps and the side surfaces of the
sheets. To lubricate the spring, remove it from the vehicle, disassemble it, wash it in kerosene and dry it. Use the lubricant
specified in Annex 3.
Knocks and squeaks in the springs indicate wear of the rubber pads or rubber-metal joints.
When installing the springs, finally tighten the strut nuts with the springs loaded with the weight of the vehicle.
On vehicles with removed stabilizer bar 22 (Fig. 9.21), when installing it you must check the length of the stabilizer
bar shoulders (Fig. 9.21). To adjust, turn the stabilizer eye ring 24 (Fig. 9.21). Do not forget to tighten lock nut 4 after
making the adjustment.
CAUTION! Incorrect installation of the stabilizer bar will result in poor handling, increased noise level, reduced
service life of the front cardan shaft, and frame component failures.
