Attention! Welding and straightening work on the suspension elements of the front wheels is not allowed. Damaged parts must be replaced with new ones.
Withdrawal
Removing the suspension strut from the hub is a problem in the sense that later it will be necessary to go to a workshop to adjust the camber and toe-in.
1. Purchase new self-locking nuts and a new ball joint clamp bolt.
2. Turn out at the car standing on wheels a bolt of fastening of a semiaxle in a nave of a wheel.
3. Turn out bolts of fastening of a wheel.
4. Place the front of the car on the jacks, ensuring its even position. Otherwise, the anti-roll bar will be tensioned.
5. Remove the wheel.
6. Disconnect the anti-roll bar struts from both suspension struts and remove the stabilizer by pushing it up (see illustration).
7. Disconnect a support of the brake mechanism and fix it with a wire on a body. Do not disconnect brake hoses.
8. Disconnect the tie rod by pressing out the pin of the ball joint of the rod end.
9. Turn out a tightening bolt of a spherical support to which the lower cross-section levers fasten.
10. Disconnect the ball joint from the suspension strut using a pry bar. Thus, the lower wishbones will be disconnected from the suspension strut (see illustration).
Attention! Do not try to widen the slot on the steering knuckle with a screwdriver or the like.
11. Turn the steering wheel all the way and press the axle shaft shank out of the hub.
12. Open the hood and remove the cover on the mudguard strut that covers the spring strut mounting nut on the mudguard.
13. Turn away a nut of fastening of a rack a patch wrench, at the same time holding a socket wrench a shock-absorber rod from turning. Support the stand itself so that it does not fall (see illustration).
14. Remove an amortization rack.
Installation
When installing the suspension strut, use new self-locking nuts and also replace with a new ball joint clamp bolt.
15. Install the new clamp bolt with its head pointing in the direction of travel.
16. Fix the shank of the drive shaft in the hub and fix the spring strut.
Attention! If the previous suspension strut is installed, the connection of which with the steering knuckle has not been broken, then in this case the camber and toe adjustment does not need to be checked.
