This ensures a reduction in the effort required both to brake the wheels and to increase the speed of their rotation. The control arms are mounted on hydraulic bearings that provide damping to the wheels during movement.
A subframe is connected to the suspension of the front wheels, which is a support for the power unit. An anti-roll bar is attached to the subframe. Eccentric-type spacer bushings 25 mm thick, marked «IN». On the front bearings, the protrusion of the bushings faces in the direction of the vehicle, and on the rear ones - against the motion. Before dismantling the bushings, they and their seats should be marked (see illustration 1.0).
The front of the subframe is connected by a cross brace, which is designed to increase its rigidity (see illustration 1.0a).
The shock absorber struts of the front suspension are pneumatic, which ensures a four-level clearance (see illustration 1.0b).
1.0b. Pneumatic front suspension strut
The upper suspension strut mount is attached to the support bracket of the upper arms, and the lower one is attached to the carrier arm (see illustration 1.0c).
The transmission of torque to the front wheels is carried out through two axle shafts connected to the wheels and the final drive by hinges of equal angular speeds.
Attention! Before carrying out repair work on the suspension, the clearance should be returned to the standard position and its regulator should be turned off.
Optimum driving performance and minimum tire wear can only be achieved if the camber and toe angles are set correctly. If incorrect tire wear occurs and the vehicle is unstable on the road, you should immediately contact a workshop to check and adjust the camber and toe angles. Self-checking and installation of camber and convergence without special equipment is not possible.
Attention! Welding and straightening work on the bearing and guiding elements of the front suspension is prohibited. Always replace self-locking nuts and rusted bolts and nuts with new ones when carrying out repairs.
