Warning: Lever 15 can only be removed together with the bracket.
Warning: If oil leaks from the hydraulic support, the support must be replaced.
Warning: The arrow on the 29 lug points towards the front of the vehicle.
Warning: Do not lift the vehicle by the lower front frame 36.
Warning: Clamp 42 is installed on the lower front control arm.
The suspension is the connecting link between the body and the wheels. Through them, the forces acting on the wheels are transmitted to the body. The elements included in the suspension soften dynamic loads, reduce body vibrations, provide good stability and smoothness of the car.
The load-bearing element of the front suspension is the lower front cross beam. The power unit is attached to the beam through the corresponding supports.
The front suspension of the car is equipped with four independent transverse levers. This reduces the transmission of vibration to the car body.
The cylindrical springs assembled with the shock absorbers installed inside them constitute a shock absorber strut. The upper part of the shock absorber strut is attached to the upper bracket of the front suspension, and the lower part to the transverse arm.
Torque from the gearbox to the wheels is transmitted using constant velocity joint drive shafts.
Each shaft consists of three parts: the inner and outer constant velocity joints (CV joints) and the central part of the shaft.
The splined end of the outer joint housing is inserted into the wheel hub and secured with a nut. CV joints are lubricated with consistent grease, which is replaced only when the joint is disassembled.
Warning: It is strictly forbidden to carry out welding and straightening work on the front suspension elements. Be sure to replace the self-locking nuts, as well as bolts with traces of corrosion.
