Removal and installation of the right transverse lever

            0

The right transverse arm can be removed without removing the subframe if, for example, only the rubber bushings of the transverse arm need to be replaced.

Removing the right transverse lever is carried out as follows:

- Loosen the nut of the piston rod of the shock absorber strut by 5 turns;

- loosen the wheel nuts, place the car on a secure support and remove the wheel;

- remove the reflector in the rear area of the drive belt (one bolt left and right);

- Turn away on the internal side of the cross-section lever of a nut and the bolts shown on fig. 197, for detaching the control arm (on vehicles with a 200 hp engine. unscrew from below four bolts and nuts shown on fig. 198);

- Turn away draft of a bar of the stabilizer, as it is shown in fig. 196, turn the rod and move it aside;

- unscrew the tie rod joint from the steering knuckle lever and press it out with a puller (cotter pin replace);

- Turn away a bolt of fastening of the spherical hinge of the cross-section lever on the back party of a rotary fist, as it is shown in fig. 199, press down the transverse arm with a tire mounting spatula and remove it as soon as it is free (do not damage the protective cover of the ball joint).

If necessary, you can replace the rubber bushings.

Install in the following order:

- install the transverse arm from the rear side: insert both bolts from above and tighten the nuts to a torque of 50 Nm, then tighten the nuts by 90° (quarter turn); on vehicles with a 200 hp engine. tighten two small nuts and bolts with a torque of 70 Nm, respectively large ones with a torque of 115 Nm;

- install the drive shaft according to fig. 30, tighten both nuts of the intermediate bearing to 27 Nm, reinstall the heat shield;

- Connect the transverse lever to the steering knuckle, tighten the clamping bolt to 84 Nm;

- Connect the tie rod joint to the steering knuckle and tighten with a nut to 37 Nm (Replace self-locking nut);

- Connect the anti-roll bar linkage and tighten with a nut to a torque of 50 Nm;

- tighten the nut in the middle of the shock absorber stop to a torque of 46 Nm;

- install the wheel, lower the vehicle to the ground and tighten the wheel nuts to 85 Nm.
