Note: In the 2010 model year, the standard silent block guide arms were gradually replaced by hydraulic silent block guide arms. The installation of different connecting rods on one axle is not permitted.
Remove the wheel. Remove the sound insulation. If present, unscrew the "arrow" bolts and put the subframe shield "1" aside. Unscrew the nut of the joint pin of the guide arm so that it is flush with the thread of the joint pin. If necessary, hold the steering pin from turning.
To protect the thread, leave the nut on the pin screwed on for several turns. Press out the pin of the guide lever joint using the ball joint puller "T40010 A" from the conical socket.
Be careful not to damage the joint boot! Make sure that both arms of the puller lever are parallel to each other at the moment of maximum force application. Disconnect bolt connection "1". Remove the guide lever.
Installation
Install in reverse order. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the tightening torques. Remove the remaining glue from the thread of the guide arm pin. Silent blocks have a limited working torsion range. Therefore, the wheel suspension bolt connections should be tightened only when the car is in the unloaded position or in the standard suspension position. Raise the wheel support with the suspension in a static position on a car with coil springs. When tightening bolt connection "1", the guide arm must be pressed against the inner side of the car. Tighten the wheel. It is necessary to adjust the wheel alignment angles.
