Suspension bracket and steering

General information

Forward suspension bracket completely independent with top and bottom levers, shock-absorbers with screw springs and the stabilizer of cross-section stability (see illustrations below).

In an independent back suspension bracket longitudinal levers, the top and bottom levers and assemblies of shock-absorbers with screw springs (see illustrations below) are used.

All models are completed with the reechny steering mechanism. On some models hydraulic strengthening of a wheel is provided. In system of hydrostrengthening of a wheel (PAS) the steering pump connected to a case of the reechny mechanism by means of flexible hydraulic hoses is used given to rotation from the engine.

Often in the course of service of components of a suspension bracket it is necessary to face fixture resistant to an otdavaniye.“ By Prikipaniye” elements of fixture it is connected with that they are constantly subject to external influences, are in contact to water, dirt, a soot and other promoting development of corrosion by substances. For the purpose of simplification of procedure of an otdavaniye of its such "become attached" fixture it is necessary to impregnate with plentiful amount of getting oil beforehand. Cleaning of open carving parts of fixture by a rigid wire brush also promotes simplification of an otdavaniye of prirzhavevshy nuts. Sometimes, in especially hard cases, for an otpuskaniye "become attached" bolts/nuts it is possible to use a drift. The drift rests against the region of a shliyets of a nut/head of a bolt and sharp blows are struck to its opposite end with a hammer. Watch that the drift did not break, try not to damage in inexact blows a carving. Quite effective way is also warming up of fixture not giving in to an otdavaniye and a surface of a component surrounding it a torch of a blowtorch or a gas torch though originators of this Management and do not recommend to resort without extreme need to such technology in view of its potential danger connected with possibility of ignition and risk of receiving burns. Different extended collars and trumpet nozzles are intended for increase in a torque at an otpuskaniye of fixture on them, however remember that it is not necessary to use such intensifying adaptations complete with the drive equipped with "graggers" – the risk of failure of the ratchet mechanism is too great. Sometimes the nut/bolt starts to give in after previously slightly will be tightened clockwise. All fixture, which otpuskaniye demanded application of extraordinary measures at assembly is subject to replacement!

After an otdavaniye attentively check a condition of fixture and in case of need make its replacement with elements of the same standard size. At assembly tighten fixture of components of a suspension bracket and a steering it is strict with demanded effort.

At all do not undertake attempts of a rikhtovka of the deformed components of a suspension bracket and a steering – replace defective details!

As procedures of service of components of a suspension bracket are carried out under the car, it is necessary to take care in advance of possibilities of lifting of a vehicle and its fixing in the lifted situation (prepare reliable a jack and props).

At all do not perform any works under the car, fixed in the lifted situation only by means of a jack!
