You make removal of a rack in the following order:

– take off a decorative cap of a wheel;

– turn off a nut of fastening of a nave in situation "the car on wheels";

– weaken bolts of fastening of a wheel;

– you will hang out and fix a forward part of the car on basic racks;

– turn off bolts of fastening of a wheel and remove a wheel;

– establish a jack under the external end of the cross lever;

Fig. 10.2. Depreciation rack of a forward suspension bracket: 1 – cover; 2 – nut of fastening of a rack; 3 – emphasis; 4 – shlitsevy nut; 5 – bearing; 6 – spring cup; 7 – compression buffer; 8 – protective cover; 9 – spring; 10 – shock-absorber; 11 – rotary fist

Fig. 10.3. Otvorachivany nuts of fastening of a rod of the shock-absorber

– in a motor compartment by means of the lever uncover 1 (fig. 10.2) the top part of a depreciation rack. Holding from a provorachivaniye a shock-absorber rod a six-sided key dimension of 7 mm, a key of VW 3078 turn off самоконтрящуюся a nut of fastening of a rod of the shock-absorber (fig. 10.3) ;

– turn off a nut and remove a connector of the stabilizer of cross stability;

– turn off a nut and remove a spherical support of steering draft from a rotary fist;

– remove a brake support and, using a soft wire, tie up it;

– note the provision of a depreciation rack and a rotary fist relatively each other;

– note the provision of the top and lower bolts of fastening of a rotary fist to a rack correctly to establish them on former places, and unscrew bolts;

– replace самоконтрящиеся nuts and special laying;

– lower the cross lever for release of a rack from the top fastening then by means of the lever separate a damping rack from a rotary fist and take it from under a forward wing.

Dismantling of a rack is made in the following order:

– to clear a damping rack of dirt;

Fig. 10.4. Compression of a spring special adaptation

– for removal of the shock-absorber it is necessary to squeeze a spring for what use special adaptation (fig. 10.4) ;

Fig. 10.5. Otvorachivany nuts of fastening of the top cup

– squeeze a spring until the top cup is released, then turn off a grip or the special VW-524 tool (with a six-sided head) a shlitsevy nut in the top part of a rod of the shock-absorber (fig. 10.5) .

PREVENTION At installation of captures on rounds of a spring you watch that captures were reliably fixed on a spring and did not come off at its compression. Squeeze a spring evenly from two parties. Because of danger to be traumatized do not make attempts to pull together spring rounds with a rope or a wire as the effort compression of a spring very big and exists probability of a rupture of unreliable fastening.

At the same time hold a shock-absorber rod from a provorachivaniye a key with an internal hexagon. As other way it is possible to clamp a shock-absorber rod face or Rozhkov a key on facets;

PREVENTION Turn off the central nut of fastening only at the compressed spring.

– remove the bearing 5 (see fig. 10.2 ) a depreciation rack from the top cup 6 (see fig. 10.2 ) springs. When replacing the bearing replace all bearing assembled;

– remove a cylindrical spring from a depreciation rack, previously having noted the provision of its top part;

– remove from a rod the buffer of compression 7 (see fig. 10.2 ) and a protective cover 8;

– if it is required to replace a spring, slowly unclench it. If only the shock-absorber is replaced, a spring leave compressed.

Check. Check all elements of a damping rack for wear, damages or deformation. Check smoothness of the course of a rod of the shock-absorber.

Check the shock-absorber for tightness, and its rod on pointed corrosion on all length. With defects the shock-absorber is subject to replacement.

PREVENTION Springs need to be changed in couple. New springs have an anticorrosive varnish covering. Before installation of springs check integrity of a covering and if necessary tint springs.

You carry out assembly to the sequences, the return dismantling.

Installation of a rack is carried out to the sequences, the return to removal.

Insert a depreciation rack and screw new самоконтрящуюся a nut of fastening of a rod of the shock-absorber. If were established a new damping rack, check a corner of disorder of forward wheels and in case of need adjust it (see. "Angles of installation of wheels").
