Repair of a forward suspension bracket

Very many elements of a forward suspension bracket of wheels can be removed independently and again to establish. Devices from a workshop nevertheless are necessary for carrying out certain works. The damaged parts of a suspension bracket cannot be corrected by no means and furthermore to weld, they need to be replaced essentially new.

Removal of a forward depreciation rack

Removal of a depreciation rack above. After removal of a cover (1) it is possible to weaken a nut of fastening of a depreciation rack with the help of a cap key (3). For this purpose to hold a shock-absorber rod with a face six-sided key (2).

Removal of a depreciation rack below. Bolted connections of draft of the stabilizer (1) and bolted connections with the case of the bearing of a nave of a wheel are shown (2 and 3).

At removal of a depreciation rack it is necessary to consider: if to disconnect it from the wheel nave bearing case, it is necessary to make anew adjustment of corners of installation of wheels that is possible only at the measuring stand in a workshop.

For this reason we describe removal of a depreciation rack together with the wheel nave bearing case here.

One more addition: in a workshop apply a face wrench of VW 3078 to an inhaling of the top nut of a depreciation rack of mechanics. For want of something better for performance of these works it is possible to use a cap wrench and own intuition.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. To get new samokontryashchuyusya a nut and a new tightening bolt of the hinge of an independent suspension bracket.
  2. At the car standing on the earth to weaken the central fixing bolt of a power shaft in a wheel nave (in the middle of a wheel).
  3. To weaken bolts of fastening of a wheel.
  4. Evenly to raise the car in front that the stabilizer was not loaded. To provide fixing of the car.
  5. To remove a wheel.
  6. To disconnect draft of the stabilizer from both depreciation racks, to wring out the stabilizer up.
  7. To disconnect a bracket of the disk brake mechanism and to strengthen it on a body by means of a wire – the pipeline of the brake drive remains connected.
  8. To separate the hinge of cross steering draft.
  9. To remove tightening a bolt of the axial hinge at the very bottom at a depreciation rack.
  10. Mount to extend a hinge finger from a depreciation rack. Thereby the depreciation rack and the cross lever of a suspension bracket are divided. Thus by no means it is impossible to expand vents in the wheel nave bearing case, for example with a screw-driver.
  11. To turn out a wheel and to take a power shaft from a wheel nave.
  12. To uncover a glass of a depreciation rack in a motor compartment.
  13. To remove above from a rod a nut of fastening of a depreciation rack. For this purpose to hold a rod with a key for an internal hexagon.
  14. Thus to hold a depreciation rack from below.
  15. To take out a depreciation rack in the direction down and at the same time completely to remove it from a power shaft.
  16. To apply to installation new samokontryashchiyesya nuts and new tightening a suspension bracket hinge bolt.
  17. To establish tightening a bolt so that its head was directed forward in the direction of travel.
  18. Inhaling moments: nut of the top fastening of a depreciation rack: 60 N • m, nut of cross steering draft: 30 N • m, tightening bolt of the hinge of an independent suspension bracket: 50 N • m, connecting draft of the stabilizer on a depreciation rack: 40 N • m.
  19. If the same depreciation rack and thus the bolts connecting the case of the bearing of a nave of a wheel and a depreciation rack is established remain all the time clamped, it is not necessary to correct adjustment of corners of installation of wheels.

Elements of a forward depreciation rack and sequence of their installation

1 – spring;
2 – plate of a spring;
3 – bearing of a depreciation rack;
4 – buffer;

5 – protection cover;
6 – carving cover:
7 – shock-absorber;
8 – 10 – pro-rate, cover.


Suspension bracket of a forward wheel of the Audi 80 car at a short distance

1 – case of a depreciation rack;
2 – bolted connections of the case of a depreciation rack and case of the bearing of a nave of a wheel;
3 – wheel nave bearing case;

4 – axial hinge;
5 – tightening bolt;
6 – lower cross lever of a suspension bracket.

At the left: coupling brackets are necessary in order that at the removed depreciation rack to separate a spring from the shock-absorber.

On the right: the illustration shows tightening a bolt of the hinge of a suspension bracket (1) by which the hinge of a suspension bracket (3) is strengthened in the wheel nave bearing case. Further are designated: fixing nuts (2) by which the hinge of a suspension bracket is connected with the lower cross lever.

Replacement of the forward shock-absorber

For carrying out this work (at the removed depreciation rack) it is necessary the device for a tension (compression) of a spring. You will need at least two strippers, it is even better – three. Without use of the device for a tension of a spring it is impossible to weaken a shlitsevy nut above on a shock-absorber rod because the spring is in a condition of a strong preliminary tension. Otherwise compound details of a depreciation rack will scatter in the parties as at explosion – danger of accident is great!

Besides, the uncompressed spring cannot already be established into place. Natyazhiteli of springs can be got in shops of spare parts. Further the following special tools will be required: VW 524 key for weakening of a shlitsevy nut and the tool 40-201 A for weakening of a carving cover over the shock-absorber. If you do not have them, it is necessary to help itself a big pipe key.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. To remove a depreciation rack (see the previous section).
  2. To clamp a depreciation rack through wooden klinyshka at height of the lever of a rotary fist in a vice. Never clamp for a cylindrical site, differently you crush a depreciation rack.
  3. To establish a natyazhitel of springs at rounds of a spring and to squeeze a little it.
  4. In order that the natyazhitel of springs did not slide off, it is necessary to paste over these rounds with a kleyushchy tape if necessary.
  5. Now to weaken a shlitsevy nut at the top of a depreciation rack. To hold a shock-absorber rod with a wrench.
  6. To remove a spring together with the bearing of a depreciation rack and additional details.
  7. To remove a carving cover above at the shock-absorber.
  8. To extend the shock-absorber.
  9. At plant liquid shock-absorbers are installed. In this case it is necessary to pour out old liquid of the shock-absorber (special waste!) and to clean its rod.
  10. To establish a new cartridge of the shock-absorber without liquid.
  11. Watch sequence of installation of components in drawing on the right above. Further pay attention: color marking of springs specifies a bottom.
  12. Inhaling moments: carving cover of the boss of the shock-absorber: 150 N • m, a shlitsevy nut on a shock-absorber rod: 50 N • m.

Removal of the forward bearing of a nave of a wheel

The wheel nave bearing is pressed by the external ring in the case, in an internal ring the wheel nave is pressed. The new bearing of a nave of a wheel cannot be driven on the place a hammer by no means, differently you "establish" the following damage together with the bearing. Therefore it is better to remove only a depreciation rack and to disconnect a disk of the brake mechanism, and also a casing. And actually you have to entrust removal and installation of the bearing to a workshop at which disposal the repair press is.
