Removal and installation of the stabilizer bar

            0

To replace the stabilizer, completely remove the subframe. This work, identical to the removal and installation of the left transverse arm, is described in the appropriate section. In addition, disconnect the connection between the steering arm shaft and the steering shaft friction clutch and remove the clutch.

Note: There are design differences between cars before and after January 1999: the stabilizer links can be replaced separately. The nuts are tightened to a torque of 50 Nm.


- on all models of cars, the steering shaft is disconnected from the steering shaft friction clutch, to do this, unscrew the bolts and press the pressure plate to the side;

- on vehicles manufactured before January 1999, remove the steering column trim from the base of the load-bearing body, being careful not to damage it (fastened with clips to the back and top side), then grab the gasket from below and pull it up, on the shaft, disconnect the connection with the coupling in the place shown in fig. 200;


- on cars produced since January 1999, unscrew only the connection with the friction clutch;

- loosen the wheel bolts, place the car on a jack and remove the front wheels;

- Disconnect the mudguard of the engine and the radiator upholstery from the rear side;

- Disconnect the shock absorber struts from the subframe;

- disconnect an emphasis against turning;

- on all transmissions turn away shown on fig. 170 bolts and remove the front bearing;



Pic. 117. Removing the oil filter

- on cars with a mechanical transmission remove shown on fig. 117 bolt in rear bearing nut

- Disconnect connecting draft of the stabilizer of cross-section stability from the back party;


- disconnect the safety plate in the rear area of the drive belt (one bolt left and right);



Pic. 201. Mounting the anti-roll bar on the subframe

- disconnect the subframe and lower it, as described in subsection. 12.4 to access the one shown in fig. 201 stabilizer bearing mount;

- unscrew both bolts, remove the mounting clamp and remove the stabilizer (the rod on both sides must be disconnected).

Replacing the rubber bushings of both mounting clamps is not difficult.

Installation is carried out in the reverse order, taking into account the following:

Note: Observe the specified tightening torques.


- bolts of stabilizer mounting clamps tighten to 25 Nm;

- install the subframe as described earlier and tighten the bolts to 130 Nm;

- tighten the stabilizer connecting rod to 50 Nm;

- shown in fig. 170 bolt (Manual Transmission) tighten with a torque of 120 Nm;



Pic. 171. The location of the rear stop screw


- shown in fig. 171 bolts (Automatic transmission) tighten with a torque of 120 Nm;

- tighten the friction clutch bolts to 19 Nm;

- reconnect the steering shaft to the steering shaft friction clutch;

- set the pressure plate in the correct position and tighten the bolts to a torque of 25 Nm.
