Assembly
When reassembly on one vehicle axle springs with similar characteristics, having the same color coding. Check the shock absorber to the absence of liquid leakage. Check the entire length of the damper rod on absence of pitting. Check the damper housing for mechanical damage. Install the shock absorber in vertical position and check the operation by moving the rod at full speed, as well as up and down to 50-100 mm. In all cases, shock-absorber rod should move smoothly, with a noticeable resistance. If the shock-absorber rod moves in jerks or there is mechanical damage, shock absorber must be replaced. Secure the shock absorber in a vice with soft sponges. Install the lower spring plate on the damper so that the hole in the plate of the spring was in the plane perpendicular to the axis of the plug and the hole in the bottom fastening of the shock-absorber (Fig. 12.10). This should be placed in the clamps from the hole. Deviation of the center hole in the lower plate spring from the vertical shall not exceed ?� 2 ?�.
| Fig. 12.10. The correct position of the holes when installing the lower plate spring on the shock absorber: 1 - the lower spring plate; 2 - shock; A - hole axis fork shock absorber; V - clamps
|
Install the lower spring seat and protective cover.
| Fig. 12.11. Proper positioning of the lower coil spring plate
|
Install the coil spring so that its lower coil is placed correctly in the lower plate spring (Fig. 12.11).
| Fig. 12.12. Location upper spring seat left and right shock absorber struts: 1 - the bottom line of the opening fork damper; A = (11 ?� 2 ?�); In - the holes in the bottom plate of a spring; F - toward the front of the vehicle; R - right shock absorber; L - left shock absorber
|
Replace the top plate of a spring so that the axis passing through the mounting holes of the top support, positioned at an angle of (11 ?� 2 ?�) with respect to the axis of the hole at the bottom of the fork shock absorber (Fig. 12.12). Location upper spring seat for the left and right shock absorber is different. Openings (see. Fig. 12.12) in the lower spring plate must be positioned on the part of the engine compartment.

|
Hold the shock-absorber rod from rotating, screw on a new nut with a fillet on a shock-absorber rod and tighten to 50 N ?� m (see. Fig. 12.8). Carefully remove the adaptation for spring compression.
| Fig. 12.13. Proper positioning of the upper coil spring on the shock absorber
|
Check that the upper spring coil is properly positioned on the upper plate spring (Fig. 12.13). Install the shock absorber on a car rack.
