Withdrawal
1. Apply the parking brake to the vehicle and chock the rear wheels.
2. Loosen the front wheel mounting bolts and unscrew the axle shaft mounting nut.
3. Raise and support the front of the vehicle.
4. Completely unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the front wheel.
5. Loosen the mounting bolts and remove the stabilizer bar bushings.
6. Unscrew the two mounting bolts, remove the brake caliper assembly and hang it on the wire to the body, making sure that the brake hose is not twisted and does not experience excessive stress. For the convenience of further installation of the brake caliper, it is recommended to first remove the brake pads (cm. subsection 10.5).
7. Remove brake disc (cm. subsection 10.6).
8. Loosen the nut and remove the bolt securing the ball joint pin of the suspension arm to the steering knuckle. Using a pry bar, carefully, so as not to damage the hinge dust cover, remove the hinge pin from the steering knuckle clamp, thereby disconnecting the suspension arm from the steering knuckle.
9. Loosen the mounting nut and press the tie rod ball joint pin out of the swing arm, thereby disengaging the tie rod from the strut.
10. Press the shaft out of the hub using a puller.
11. Remove the decorative cap that blocks access to the shock absorber upper mounting nut.
12. Unscrew the three nuts securing the base of the upper support to the body, holding the telescopic strut from below.
13. Remove the telescopic pole from the vehicle.
Disassembly
1. Compress the spring using the special tool.
2. Loosen the shock absorber upper mounting nut while holding the shock absorber rod from turning with a hexagon.
3. Remove all parts of the telescopic strut one by one.
4. Remove protective cap.
5. Loosen the shock absorber bottom nut using the special tool (service stations use tool 2069).
6. Remove shock absorber.
Shock absorber inspection and troubleshooting
1. Clean the shock absorber from dirt.
2. Check shock absorber. If the rod is bent or there are delaminations of the chrome coating on the working surface, traces of corrosion, scuffing, damage to the threaded part, then the shock absorber must be replaced.
3. Set shock absorber to vertical position. Check the condition of the shock absorber by moving the piston by the rod along the entire stroke.
4. If jamming or lack of resistance is found throughout the piston stroke, and obvious traces of fluid leakage through the stuffing box are visible, the shock absorber must be replaced. Traces of sweating from the liquid are allowed.
5. Clean the spring from dirt and carefully check. If there are cracks or deformation of the coils, replace the spring.
6. Replace defective rubber seal.
Assembly
1. Install the shock absorber on the steering knuckle and use a special tool to tighten the shock absorber lower mounting nut to a torque of 180 Nm (18.0 kgf·m).
2. Install protective cap.
3. Compress the spring using the special tool.
4. Reinstall the parts of the telescopic strut in reverse order. In this case, insert the lower end of the spring as far as it will go into the cavity of the lower cup.
5. Rubber gaskets are supplied in spare parts of different thicknesses: with one mark - 19 mm, with two marks - 15 mm, with three marks - 9 mm. When replacing the spring, it is recommended to install a gasket with two marks.
6. Tighten the shock absorber top mounting nut to 60 Nm (6.0 kgf·m), while holding the shock absorber rod from turning with a hexagon.
7. Expand the spring.
Installation
1. Clean the splines of the hub and axle shaft from dirt and residues of special glue and wipe them with gasoline.
2. Apply special glue D6 on the axle shaft splines (pre-January 1988 models and automatic transmission models only) for a length of 5–6 mm from the end of the splined part. After that, a test drive can only be made after 60 minutes to allow the adhesive to harden.
3. At the same time, insert the studs of the upper mount of the rack into the holes in the body and put the hub on the splines of the axle shaft.
4. Tighten the new three nuts of the upper strut mounting to a torque of 30 Nm (3.0 kgf·m).
5. Insert the ball joint pin of the suspension arm into the steering knuckle clamp and tighten the new mounting bolt with a new nut to a torque of 65 Nm (6.5 kgf·m).
6. Press the tie rod ball joint pin into the swing arm and tighten the new fastening nut to a torque of 60 Nm (6.0 kgf·m).
7. Install brake disc.
8. Install brake caliper.
9. Raise the stabilizer bar, install the cushion cages and tighten the bolts of their fastening with new nuts to a torque of 105 Nm (10.5 kgf·m).
10. Install the wheel and install the mounting bolts.
11. Install a new hub nut (on production models after January 1988 - a special bolt).
12. Lower the car onto wheels.
13. Tighten the axle shaft nut to 280 Nm (28.0 kgf·m). On models manufactured after January 1988, tighten the special bolt to 200 Nm (20.0 kgf·m), and then turn a quarter of a turn (90°).
14. Tighten the wheel bolts evenly to 110 Nm (11.0 kgf·m).
15. Check wheel alignment at a workshop.
