Wheel suspensions
Fault diagnosis
Noise and knock in suspension at vehicle movement
1. Faulty shock-absorbers
2. Loose anti-roll bar fastening bolts
3. Worn arm silent blocks
4. Loose shock-absorber fastening or worn shock absorber eye rubber
bushes
5. Worn arm balljoints
6. Excessive gap in wheel hub bearings
7. Wheels significantly out of balance
8. Deformed wheel discs
9. Set down or broken springs
10. Worn rear suspension bar rubber bushes
11. Knock in "stiff" suspension due to damaged buffers
12. Rear suspension "stiffness" due to rear axle overload
Wheel alignment angles can not be adjusted
1. Deformed lower arm shaft or suspension arms
Vehicle wandering
1. Different pressure in tyres
2. Misalignment of front wheels
3. Wrong gap in front wheel bearings
4. Deformed suspension arms
5. Unequal tension of suspension springs
6. Incomplete release of wheel brake mechanism
7. Significant difference in tyres wear
8. Front wheels significantly out-of-balance
9. Displacement of rear axle due to deformation of rear suspension bar
Shimmy
1. Insufficient tyres pressure
2. Excessive gap in front wheel hub bearings
3. Shock-absorbers do not work
4. Loose fastening nuts on balljoint pins
5. Misalignment of front wheels
6. Worn arm shaft silent blocks
7. Wheels are significantly out of balance
8. Worn arm balljoints
Often "stiffness" in suspension
1. Suspension springs set down
2. Shock-absorbers do not work
3. Deformed front suspension arms
Excessive gap in balljoints
1. Worn balljoint rubbing surfaces as a result of fouling due to leaks in
shroud or its damage

Diagnosis
Remedy
1. Replace or repair shock absorbers
2. Tighten securing nuts and bolts; in case of rubber pad wear - replace
3. Renew silent blocks
4. Tighten fastening bolts and nuts, renew bushes in shock absorber eyes
5. Renew ball joints
6. Adjust clearance or replace bearings
7. Balance wheels
8. Replace discs
9. Renew spring
10. Renew rubber bushes
11. Replace damaged buffers
12. Unload vehicle rear part
1. Adjust pressure in tyres
2. Align wheels
3. Adjust bearing clearance
4. Replace deformed arms
5. Renew weak spring
6. Rectify fault
7. Replace worn tyres
8. Balance wheels
9. Straighten or replace suspension arms
1. Adjust pressure in tyres
2. Adjust clearance
3. Renew shock absorbers or repair
4. Tighten nuts
5. Align wheels
6. Renew silent blocks
7. Check and balance wheels
8. Replace joints
1. Replace shaft or arm
