2. Set the wheels to the straight ahead position. Lock the steering wheel.
3. Raise one side of the vehicle until the wheel is about 2.5 cm off the ground.
4. Install the dial indicator, the leg of which rest against the outer edge of the wheel. Rock the wheel back and forth slightly, read the dial indicator. The indicator reading should not exceed 2.5 mm. If the backlash in a steering exceeds norm check up hinges of steering draughts. Replace joints with noticeable play.
5. Raise the vehicle and place it on stands. With a force of 10 kgf, swing the pendulum lever in the vertical direction from the side with which the main thrust is attached. Measure the total play of the lever stroke (see photo). If the play exceeds 6 mm, replace the pendulum lever.
6. Check up a condition of covers spherical fingers, an inhaling of nuts of fingers and existence of Deformations or damages on drafts.
Lateral thrust
7. Loosen wheel nuts, raise vehicle and place on stands.
Put the car on the parking brake. Remove the wheel.
8. Unpin and release (do not open completely) ball stud nut (see photo).
9. Press the ball pin of the thrust out of the steering knuckle with a puller (see photo). Loosen the castle nut, and disconnect the tie rod end from the steering knuckle eye.
10. Turn away a nut of fastening of an internal part of lateral draft to the main draft. Disconnect the side link from the main link by pressing out the ball pin.
11. If the inner or outer parts of the side rod are replaced with new ones, measure the distance from the end of the adjusting sleeve to the center of the ball pin (see photo). Release the collars of the adjusting sleeve and unscrew the tip (the outer part of the side arm.
12. Lubricate the threaded part of the tie rod end. Screw the tie rod end into the adjusting sleeve and set the distance from the end of the pipe sleeve to the ball joint pin measured before disassembly. Do not tighten the coupling clamps.
13. To install the side tie rod, connect the tie rod end to the steering knuckle and tighten the castellated nuts. Tighten the nuts to the specified torque and secure with a new cotter pin. If the ball joint pin rotates when the nut is tightened, press it against the tapered part of the steering knuckle eye (see photo). If necessary, tighten the nut to align the slot in the nut with the hole in the pivot pin.
14. Insert the hinge pin of the inner part of the rod into the main rod until it stops. Screw the nut and tighten to the specified torque.
15. Tighten the clamp nuts. The bolt must be set to a position close to horizontal, and the slot in the adjusting sleeve must be aligned with the gap in the clamp (see photo).
16. Install the wheel, remove the vehicle from the stands and tighten the wheel nuts. Check and, if necessary, adjust the wheel alignment in a car service.
Pendulum lever
17. Raise the vehicle and place it on stands. Put the car on the parking brake.
18. Loosen, but do not remove, the nut securing the pendulum arm to the main tie rod.
19. Press the pendulum arm out of the main tie rod using two gripping pullers. Loosen the nut.
29. Turn away bolts of fastening of the pendulum lever to a frame.
21. At installation wrap and tighten with the set moment bolts of fastening of the pendulum lever to a frame.
22. Insert the pendulum pivot pin into the main tie rod and tighten the nut. Tighten the nut to the specified torque. If the ball joint pin rotates when the nut is tightened, press it against the conical part of the steering knuckle eye.
Main tie rod
23. Raise the car and place on stands. Put the car on the parking brake.
24. Disconnect the inner parts of the side rods from the main steering rod.
25. Disconnect the main tie rod from the bipod.
26. Disconnect the main tie rod from the pendulum arm.
27. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Tighten all nuts to the specified torque.
Bipod
28. Raise the car and place on stands.
29. Unscrew the nut of the ball joint pin of the main thrust on the bipod. This nut is changed during assembly.
30. Press the bipod pin out of the main link.
31. Mark the relative position of the bipod and the steering shaft so that the bipod is correctly aligned during assembly.
32. Unscrew the bipod mounting nut on the shaft and remove the washer.
33. Press the bipod with a puller from the shaft.
34. Check up a condition of a finger of a spherical hinge of threads of a carving. Inspect the seals and clean the finger threads.
35. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Align the marks made when removing the bipod.
Attention! If the bipod is fastened with a collar, use a wedge to separate the jaws of the bipod collar so that the bipod can be put on the shaft by hand, without allowing the collar to expand excessively. It is forbidden to press the bipod onto the shaft with hammer blows.
Shock absorber
36. Check up a condition of the shock-absorber, existence in it of a leak of a liquid. A liquid film may appear from under the steering gear shaft seal. If a noticeable leak is found, replace the shock absorber.
37. Check up a condition of the plug of the shock-absorber, presence on it traces of excessive wear. If wear is found on the shock absorber bushing, replace it.
38. To check the shock absorber itself, disconnect its frame, or from the axle. Extend and compress the shock absorber as far as possible. You should feel a smooth resistance to the stroke of the shock absorber. If you feel difficult or intermittent resistance, or if the movement of the shock absorber is accompanied by unusual noises, then replace the shock absorber.
39. Loosen and loosen the nut securing the shock absorber to the main steering rod, then unscrew the nut completely (see photo). Remove the shock absorber from the main tie rod.
40. Turn away a nut and remove a bolt of fastening of the shock-absorber, remove the shock-absorber.
41 Install the shock absorber in the reverse order.
