Removal and installation of the front and rear side arms

Pic. 215. Rear suspension (vehicles with a combi body until December 1997): 1 - jet thrust bearing block; 2 - rear side lever; 3 - upper suspension arm; 4 - shock absorber; 5 - cross member; 6 — stabilizer bar; 7 - twisted spring; 8 - rear transverse lever; 9 - butt element; 10 - wheel hub support; 11 - jet thrust

Side lever 2 (see fig. 215) suspension on all models is set the same. Its removal and installation does not cause difficulties. When performing this work, the car must be installed on reliable supports. Remove it only after releasing the transverse arm from the wheel bearing support and the frame cross member.

Tighten the rubber suspension elements to 85 Nm with the vehicle's wheels on the ground.
