Withdrawal
1. Remove the decorative cap, loosen the bolts of the corresponding wheel while the car is on wheels.
2. Chock the rear wheels, apply the handbrake, raise the front of the vehicle and install jack stands. Remove the corresponding front wheel.
3. On models equipped with xenon headlights, release the clamp and disconnect the vehicle level sensor control rod from the lower front transverse arm as described in chapter 12.
4. The top strut mounting nuts are accessible through two butt holes at the rear of the engine compartment. The holes are closed with plugs. Support the rack with a rolling jack, remove the plugs, unscrew the top nuts securing the rack using a head with an extension and a wrench (pic. 3.4, a-c).
5. Remove the ABS wheel sensor as described in Chapter 9, paragraph 19, and move it away from the suspension strut.
6. Turn away a fastening nut, take out a coupling bolt of a collar on top of a rotary fist, as it is described in paragraph 5. Separate hinges of forward and back levers from a rotary fist. Do not spread the clamp with screwdrivers or chisels. Try not to damage the rubber covers of the hinges.
7. Turn away nuts of fastening and separate the lower back cross-section lever from the basis of a rotary fist, having applied a puller of spherical tips. Do not damage the rubber boot (see paragraph 5)! This will remove the lower strut mounting bolt from the front lower wishbone.
8. Turn away a nut and take out the bottom bolt of fastening of a rack of a suspension bracket from the cross-section lever (pic. 3.8).
9. Remove the top support studs from the bracket and remove the strut from under the wheel arch (pic. 3.9).
Installation

12. Attach the lower transverse arm to the base of the steering knuckle - see paragraph 5. Install a new self-locking nut and tighten to the specified torque.
13. Attach the upper transverse levers to the top of the steering knuckle - see paragraph 5. Install the clamp pinch bolt with a new self-locking nut, tighten to the specified torque. Push both levers down while tightening the nut so that both pins of the supports are correctly engaged.
14. Screw new nuts onto the studs securing the top support of the rack and tighten them to the prescribed torque (pic. 3.14). Install the rubber plugs into the holes in the shelf.
15. Install the ABS wheel sensor.
16. On vehicles with xenon headlights, attach the control rod to the lower transverse arm and tighten the clamp as described chapter 12.
