PERFORMANCE ORDER

All the self-locking nuts and bolts must be replaced without fail! Details of the installation of the front axle assembly shown in the illustrations, which include all the links in the text. Remove the front wheels. Remove the front shock absorbers (see. Section Removal, check and installation of the front shock absorbers). Disconnect the electrical wiring connectors speed sensor (L6 / 1x1 and L6 / 2x1). Disconnect the brake line from the flexible brake hoses (see chap. Brakes and auxiliary systems). Disconnect the propeller shaft from the inlet flange of the front differential (see chap. The transmission line). Remove the torsion spring front suspension (see. Section Removal and installation of torsion springs). Remove protection crankcase. Disconnect the hose torsion bar (28) on the vehicle frame. Disconnect from the frame upper control arm (6). At a corresponding complete set remove the subframe mounting brackets line path cooling ATF. Release from the clamps on the rear side of the subframe (1), brake lines. On models equipped with Xenon headlamps, unplug the right lower arm rod (95b) control the level landing. Pump the hydraulic fluid from the tank GUR. Turn the steering wheel to position the straight-ahead and lock it by removing the key from the ignition, - rotation of the steering wheel with the steering column disconnected can cause damage to the spiral contact drum horn circuit and driver airbags. At a corresponding complete disconnect from the cylinder head cover wiring connector sensitive to the speed of the steering system hydrostrengthening (SPS). Loosen the nut (25d), remove the bolt and gently release the lower steering column shaft (80a) of the input node of the steering mechanism (25) - if necessary, slightly unclench lock with a screwdriver. Pull the shaft in the direction strictly parallel to the axis! Samokontryaschesya nut (25d) to be replaced without fail. Releasing the flare nuts / removing hollow bolts compression fittings, remove the pressure (30i) and return (30f) tract GUR hydraulic lines - immediately plug the open ends of choke sockets. Disconnect the breather hose from the differential housing. Prop up the front axle sub-frame (1) and remove the self-locking bolts (1f), - the bolts must be replaced without fail. Move aside the hoses of the whole, lower the assembly of the bridge. If necessary, remove the frame and make replacement of rubber pillows of support suspension of transmission, extraction / landing sleeves made using a special extractor. Installation is in the reverse order - the final tightening fasteners wishbone only after lowering the car to the ground. When connecting the steering shaft rack gear should be brought into a neutral (straight) position. Do not forget about the need to perform replacement of the sealing elements choke connectors hydraulic lines. Finally, adjust fluid levels of brake system and steering, remove the air from the hydraulic path. Adjust the direction of the optical axes of the headlights and adjust the suspension geometry.
