Pic. 4.61. Support bracket fixing
Remove trailing arm 1 with support bracket (pic. 4.61).
If required, replace the trailing arm, it is necessary to remove the support bracket from the arm.
Pic. 4.74. Installing the trailing arm in the vise
Clamp the trailing arm in a vise so that support bracket 1 is in contact with the vise (pic. 4.74).
Remove bolt 2.
In this case, it is necessary to adjust the mounting position of the support bracket relative to the trailing arm.
Determining the mounting position of the support bracket in relation to the trailing arm
Pic. 4.75. Installation diagram of the support bracket relative to the trailing arm: 1 - support bracket; 2 - trailing arm
Measure dimension a from the center of the bolt to the outer edge of the support bracket.
Dimension a is 57.5±1 mm.
After setting dimension a, tighten the bolt.
Installation
Pic. 4.76. Tightening position of bolts securing trailing arm to wheel bearing housing
The threaded connection of the trailing arm to the wheel bearing housing may only be tightened if the other parts (spring and shock absorber) the respective wheel suspensions are already installed. When tightening, the wheel suspension must be unsprung. Only now the trailing arm and wheel bearing housing move into position (pic. 4.76).
When performing the following operations, the sequence of operations must be followed exactly.
Install the trailing arm and support bracket with bolts to the wheel bearing housing without tightening.
Pic. 4.77. Connecting rod installation
Insert the connecting rod 1 into the trailing arm without tightening the nut (pic. 4.77).
Raise the wheel suspension with the engine and transmission stand and support until the support bracket is in contact with the body.
Tighten the bolts to the old print.
Lower the wheel suspension on the strut again and remove the support from the hub.
Install the coil spring.
Tighten the trailing arm bolts to torque, while making sure the parts are in the correct position.
