Fig. 215. Rear suspension (vehicles with a station wagon body manufactured before December 1997): 1 — jet thrust bearing block; 2 - rear side lever; 3 - Upper suspension arm; 4 — shock absorber; 5 — crossbar; 6 — anti-roll bar; 7 - coil spring; 8 - rear wishbone; 9 — butt element; 10 — wheel hub support; 11 - jet thrust
Lateral arm 2 (see Fig. 215) of the suspension is installed identically on all models. Its removal and installation do not cause any 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 crossmember.
Tighten the rubber suspension elements to 85 N·m with the vehicle wheels on the ground.
