Removal and installation
− Removal of parts is carried out in the order of numbers indicated in the figure "Removing the stabilizer bar".
Removing the stabilizer bar. 1 - self-locking nut, 2 - rubber bushing, 3 - stabilizer bar, 4 - stabilizer mounting bracket, 5 - bushing, 6 - anti-roll bar, 7 - bracket support.
− Installation of parts is carried out in the reverse order of removal. Pay attention to the following operations when installing parts.
1. Installation of the anti-roll bar.
Install the anti-roll bar, bushings and brackets as shown.
2. Installing the stabilizer bar.
Install the stabilizer link so that the length of its protruding threaded part "A" was within the nominal value.
Rated value "A" — 6 - 8 mm
− After installing the parts, check the protective covers for mechanical damage.
Examination
1. Check bushings for wear and damage.
2. Check the anti-roll bar for wear or damage.
3. Check the condition of all bolts
Checking the moment of the beginning of rotation of the finger of the ball joint of the stabilizer strut
1. Shake the ball joint pin several times, put a nut on it, and, using a special torque wrench, measure the moment the ball joint pin begins to rotate.
Nominal value - 0.5 - 1.5 N.m
2. If the measured value exceeds the nominal value, then replace the stabilizer bar assembly.
3. If the measured value is less than the nominal value, then rotate the ball joint. If the rotation occurs smoothly and without jamming, then the stabilizer bar is considered fit for further use.
Replacement of a protective cover of a spherical joint of a rack of the stabilizer
Attention: the protective cover is only replaced if it is damaged during maintenance work.
1. Remove retaining ring and ball joint protector.
2. Apply multipurpose grease to the sealing lip of the new boot and place it inside the boot.
Lubrication - Multi-Purpose Grease R-2 or equivalent
3. Wrap the threaded part of the ball joint pin with insulating tape and then install the ball joint protective boot.
4. Secure the ball joint boot with the circlip.
5. Check the protective cover of the ball joint for cracks and damage.
