Major repairs of racks of a forward suspension bracket

Components of a rack of a forward suspension bracket


1 — the Shock-absorber 2 — the Screw spring 3 — the Protective cover 4 — the Buffer of a course of compression 5 — the Top plate of a spring	6 — the Bearing 7 — the Rubber pillow 8 — the Top support of a rack 9 — the Rubber ring 10 — Nut М12

The special tool for сжимания screw springs of a suspension bracket is required. Composers of the present Management recommend to use the tool of adjustable type - ask in shops of automobile accessories. Any attempts of dismantling of racks without use of the special tool are fraught with reception of serious traumas.

At assemblage the new nut of a fixing plate is required.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Remove a rack from the car, clear it of a dirt, then clamp vertically in a vice with soft sponges. By means of the special adaptation compress a screw spring, completely having unloaded plates. Track correctness of fastening of the tool on spring coils (strictly adhere to instructions of manufacturers).

2. A wrench block a rod of the piston of rack-mount assemblage from проворачивания and give a nut of fastening of the top plate.

3. Remembering adjusting position of components, give a nut...

Also remove from a rack тарельчатую a washer...

And a fixing plate...

At assemblage the nut is subject to replacement without fail.

4. Remove the rubber plug...

... The holder of the bearing...

... The bearing...

... The remote plug and the top plate of a spring...

Then remove a screw spring...

5. Remove from piston assemblage of the shock-absorber a rubber protective cover and the buffer of a course of compression.

6. Attentively examine the shock-absorber on presence of traces of leaks of a hydraulic liquid. Check up the piston on presence of cavities, and the shock-absorber case on presence of mechanical damages. Keeping the shock-absorber vertically, check up serviceability of its functioning at first on all length of its course, then on short compression with a course from 50 to 100 mm. In both cases resistance to compression should be uniform and continuous. Otherwise the shock-absorber is faulty and is subject to replacement.
7. Check up all components on presence of signs of deterioration, deformations and mechanical damages, special attention giving to a condition of the bearing and the remote plug. Defective details replace.
8. Establish on the shock-absorber the buffer of a course of compression and a rubber protective cover. Track correctness of landing of a bottom edge of a cover on the shock-absorber case.
9. Establish into place a screw spring. Track correctness of landing of its bottom end face concerning a plate emphasis.

10. Completely stretch the shock-absorber, then establish on it the top plate, again correctly having developed its emphasis concerning a spring end face.

11. Establish the remote plug, the bearing, the holder of the bearing and the rubber plug, trace establish the top fixing plate.
12. Establish on the piston тарельчатую a washer, then screw a new nut. Keeping the piston from проворачивания, tighten a nut of a fixing plate with demanded effort.
13. Having made sure of correctness of landing of a spring on an emphasis of plates, release compressing tool and remove it from a rack.
