After adjustment, refit the fastening clamps with the slot fac-
ing back with allowable deviation downward by 60° to the hori-
zontal plane of the vehicle. With the nuts tightened the clamp slot
edges should not contact.
After toe-in adjustment, ensure that wheels and steering
mechanism components do not hit the adjacent components of
the suspension and car body. To do this, turn the wheels fully
right and left until the steering pitman arm will rest against the
steering mechanism housing fastening nuts.
Front wheel hub bearing gap -
check and adjustment
To check the gap, remove the cap and slacken the wheel fas-
tening nut, lift the front part of the vehicle, rest it on a support and
take off the front wheel.
Remove the front brake caliper with brake pads. Do not allow
the caliper to hang on high pressure hoses.
Fix tool 67.7834.9507 with indicator (fig. 4-4) on the steering
knuckle so that the indicator leg will rest against the wheel hub as
closely as possible to the adjusting nut. Turn the hub in both
directions and simultaneously move it with lever 67.7820.9521
along the steering knuckle shaft (forward and backward).
Measure the size of shift (gap) by the indicator.
If the gap is more than 0.15 mm, adjust it in the following
order:
- undo the adjusting nut from the outer joint housing tail;
- fit a new or used, but on other vehicle, nut and tighten with
torque to 19.6 N•m (2 kgf•m), simultaneously turning the hub in
both directions 2-3 times for self-setting the roller bearings;
- slacken the adjusting nut and again tighten with torque to
6.86 N•m (0.7 kgf•m);
- make a mark
B
on the washer (fig. 4-5), then undo the nut
by 20-25° until the first edge will meet the
A
mark;
- fix the nut in this position by pressing the cups on the jour-
nal into the grooves on the outer joint race tail end.
After adjustment the bearing clearance should be within the
limits of 0.01-0.07 mm.
Front wheel hub bearing -
renewing the greasing
To renew the greasing do the following from both sides of the
vehicle:
- raise the front part of the vehicle and take off the wheel;
- unbend the edge of the brake front splash guard, undo the
fastening bolt of the brake pad carrier and remove the brake
caliper from the brake disc by moving it aside. Do not disconnect
the brake hoses, to avoid air penetration in the hydraulic system,
and do not leave the caliper to hang on the hoses;
- use tool 67.7823.9514 to remove the wheel hub cap, undo
the adjusting nut and remove bush 21 (see fig. 4-1);
- carefully, so that not to damage sealing 25, remove hub 19
in assembly with the brake disc;
- put a support under the suspension lower arm 4 and slight-
ly lower the front part of the vehicle to compress spring 9;
- disconnect the lower balljoint 18 from the suspension arm;
- disconnect the shock-absorber 14 from the lower arm 4 and
steering drive side tie-rod from the steering knuckle shaft 29;
- move the front wheel drive shaft fully forward to the front
axle;
- by turning the steering knuckle 29 relatively the upper
balljoint 41, remove the knuckle from the joint casing tail 23;
- using tool 67.7853.9535 with washer 67.7853.9540 press
out from the cavity of the steering knuckle the inner rings of bear-
ings 27 with dismantling rings and seals 25. The bearing outer
rings are pressed off using washer 67.7853.9534, and press-fit-
ted with tool 67.7853.9536. Mark the bearing rings so that to put
them on former place when reassembling;
