|
Remove the wheel speed sensor from the steering knuckle and disconnect the sensor from the front of the rack (Fig. 4.13).
ATTENTION Be careful not to damage the wheel speed sensor. |
Remove the lever of a rotary fist from a rack assembly (Fig. 4.15).
Remove the strut assembly.
Setting Installation is the reverse order of removal.
Dismantling
Remove the protective cap from the rack using a flathead screwdriver (Fig. 4.17).
| Fig. 4.18. Get used to the spring with a special tool
|
With a special tool compress a spring strut so that the impact on the cup spring was minimal (Fig. 4.18).
NOTE Do not use air tools (impact wrench). |
Remove the washer bearing damping strut assembly, the upper spring cup, an upper spacer springs buffer compression stroke, a protective cover, a spring and a lower spring spacer.
Check Check the rubber parts for damage or deterioration of the technical condition. Check the spring for wear or deformation (subsidence and reduced stiffness).
| Fig. 4.20. Check the operation of the damper rod
|
Take the shock absorber rod and press. Move the damper rod up and down several times (Fig. 4.20). Check the shock absorber on the absence of abnormal noise and abnormal resistance to movement of the rod. Check shock absorber for any damage or lack of fluid leakage.
Disposal rack Pull out the shock-absorber rod until it stops.
| Fig. 4.21. The site for the shock body bore hole
|
Drill a hole in the location marked 'A' in figure 4.21, and release gas from the absorber.
ATTENTION By itself, the gas is harmless, but when it emerges from the hole could fly chips left after drilling, so be careful. |
Assembly With the help of a stripper tie-spring suspension, fully compress a spring strut.
NOTE Do not use air tools (impact wrench). |
| Fig. 4.22. Color labels spring shock absorber
|
Place the spring, the appropriate classification of load (Fig. 4.22).
| Fig. 4.23. The combination of the lower spacers with holes lower spring cups
|
Install the lower spring spacer so that the projections align with the bottom of the cup springs (Fig. 4.23).
| Fig. 4.24. Combination edge coil spring with a cup
|
NOTE Align the upper and lower end turns of the spring with the corresponding recesses on the upper and lower rack plates (Fig. 4.24). |
Install the upper spring cup on the shock-absorber rod.
| Fig. 4.25. The combination of the flat part of the D-shaped opening of the upper cups with spring bezrezbovoy flattened portion rod damper
|
NOTE Align the flat portion of the D-shaped opening of the upper cups with spring bezrezbovoy flattened portion rod shock absorber (Fig. 4.25). |
Temporarily install the new samokontyaschuyusya nut. Remove the special tool.
| Fig. 4.26. Tightening the self-locking nut piston rod
|
Tighten the self-locking nut to the specified torque (Fig. 4.26). Tightening torque self-locking nut Rod: 60-70 Nm.
ATTENTION Do not damage the shock-absorber rod tool. |
