Replacing the spring and shock absorber of the rear wheel



Work on the replacement should be performed in the following sequence:
1) Disconnect the upper part of the rear shock:

Removing the upper shock absorber
Fig. 8.20. Removing the upper shock absorber: 1 - Sidebar; 2 - sealing cap; 3 - a nut


- Remove the side panel 1 (Fig. 8.20), insulation and sealing cap 2;
- Unscrew the two screws 3;

Detaching the mounting stabilizer bar

2) Disconnect bracket stabilizer bar on the left and on the right (Fig. 8.21);
3) completely remove the rear shock:
- Lift the car, hang out wheel;
- Remove the wheel;

Removing shock absorber from the car
Fig. 8.22. Removing shock absorber from the car: 1 - a nut bolt shock absorber;
2 - a nut bolts trailing arm


- Unscrew the nut 1 (Fig. 8.22) shock absorber mounting bolt and nut 2 screws on the trailing arm;
- Remove the bolt and remove the shock absorber.
4) disassemble the shock absorber:
- Compress a spring with clamps 999 5409 (Position the clamps exactly opposite to each other, they have to capture as many turns);
- Alternately tighten the clamps until the spring does not move away from the thrust plates;

A WARNING
Clips spring it is necessary to tighten the turn.

- Loosen the nut of the shock absorber 1;
- Remove the ring 2, the top cup springs 3, the rubber element 4 and spring 5;
- Check all parts for wear and damage;
5) replace the spring:
- Carefully unload the spring and install the tool 999 5409 to a new spring. Position the clamps opposite each other; They must capture as many turns;
- Alternately tighten the clamps;

Disassembly of the shock absorber
Fig. 8.23. Disassembly of the shock absorber: 1 - a nut;
2 - ring; 3 - cup spring; 4 - the rubber component; 5 - a spring


6) Assemble the shock:
- Pull rod as far as possible from the shock absorber. Install a spring and a rubber component;
- Put the upper spring cup and make sure it is disposed in parallel (with a maximum deviation of 3 ?�) shock absorber;
- Make sure that the spring ends fit snugly to the cup;
- Set the ring and a new nut and tighten it to a torque of 30 Nm (for bumper ?�Nivomat?� - 25 N ?� m);

Assembling the shock absorber
Fig. 8.24. Assembling the shock absorber: 1 - a rubber ring; 2 - the upper spring cup


7) Check the shock absorber - remove the clips from the spring and check the rubber ring 1 (Fig. 8.24) on top of the cup 2 of the spring;

A WARNING
Improper installation of the rubber ring can lead to the ingress of dirt into the luggage compartment of the body.

8) Mount the upper part of the rear shock:
- Install the shock absorber so that the lower end of the coil was sent to the rear of the vehicle;
- Put the upper shock absorber mounting nuts and tighten them to a torque of 50 Nm (use new nuts);
- Install the sealing cap, mount the dismantled parts;
- Put the trailing arm bolt; press down the entire suspension; put a damper bolt;
9) Check the cleanliness of the contact surfaces of the brake disc and hub; lubricate the central guide pin at the front of the hub anticorrosive composition 1161038-3; put the wheel and slightly tighten the bolts, then tighten them diagonally torque of 110 Nm; Put the hub cap;

A WARNING
It is important to perform the tightness diagonally, applying a specified time. This will prevent the formation voltage in the brake disc.

10) secure the lower arm;
- Remove the support and swing the car a few times up and down;
- Mount the stabilizer bar and tighten to 25 N ?� m;
