9.1.5. Rack and spring of a suspension bracket

Details of a rack of a forward suspension bracket (the device of a rack of a back suspension bracket is similar)

1. Top basic cup
2. Bearing
3. Top saddle
4. Spring buffer
5. Top insulating casing of a spring
6. Lower insulating laying of a spring
7. Spring
8. Suspension bracket shock-absorber
9. Conducting of the sensor of speed of ABS system
10. Draft of the stabilizer
11. Brake hose
12. Rack assembled

If strong indications of wear or damage of a rack or a spring are found (dribble of liquid, a cage of springs, external damages, etc.), then it is necessary to resolve an issue of expediency of dismantling. The rack with the shock-absorber is not subject to repair and changes assembled.

Dismantling

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Remove a rack. Clamp the lower part of a rack in a vice through wooden laying.
2. Squeeze a spring by means of adaptation so that to take off pressure upon the top basic cup of a spring (it is checked by rocking of the top plate).

Prevention

At removal of a spring use the special device for compression of a spring. You store the removed compressed spring in the safe place.


3. Turn off a shock-absorber rod nut.
4. Turn off a nut and remove a cup of the top support of a rack. Check a condition of the bearing of a cup. If the bearing jams at rotation, then replace a cup. Check integrity of rubber laying of a cup, existence on it of cracks and signs of wear. If rubber destruction is found, then replace laying.
5. Remove the top saddle of a spring. Check existence on a saddle of cracks and hardenings. If necessary replace. Remove the top insulating casing of a spring.
6. Carefully remove the compressed spring.
7. Remove the rubber buffer.
8. Check a condition of the lower insulating laying, if necessary replace.

Assembly

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. If changes lower, then establish it into place so that the ledge on laying was turned down and came into deepening on the lower cup of a rack.
2. Establish a spring so that the termination of the last round came into deepening on lower insulating to laying.
3. Establish the top insulating casing and a saddle of a spring, having combined at the same time lysk on a shock-absorber rod with saddle opening sides.
4. Combine a tag of OUT of the top saddle of a spring with a tag on the top insulating casing.
5. At assembly of a rack of a forward suspension bracket be convinced that the arrow on a saddle is turned outside (1 – outside).
6. At assembly of a rack of a back suspension bracket orient the top basic cup according to a photo.
7. Establish a sealant and the top cup on a rack.
8. Wrap a nut of fastening of the top cup and tighten with the set moment. Simite adaptation squeezing a spring.
9. Install a rack on the car.
