Suspension
The front dependent spring suspension on trailing arms with
torsion bar stabilizer (Fig. 9.27) , the rear leaf-spring suspension
(Fig. 9.28).
Maintenance-free hydraulic shock absorbers are mounted on
the vehicle. If the shock absorber fails: leaking shock absorber
liquid, loss of power — the shock absorber should be replaced.
Disassembly of shock absorbers is prohibited. Place the shock
absorbers of the same identification on one axle shaft. The front
and the rear shock absorbers are not interchangeable.
Motor vehicle operation with a faulty shock absorber or
without a shock absorber is prohibited.
Periodically check the tightening torque of the mounting nuts
of the suspension joints (lateral rods, trailing arms, leaf-springs).
The reduced tightening torque can lead to the premature wear of
the pins and the mounting parts, and to deterioration of vehicle
handling.
Knocks and squeals in the joints, increased backlashes in the
couplings, deterioration of vehicle handling indicate a wearing
of the joints and the necessity to replace them. Strains on the
lateral rod of the suspension, the tie rod, the trailing arms of the
suspension and the brackets of the suspension leading mechanism
are not allowed during operation.
During removal and installation of the suspension members
and replacement of the joints, it is recommended to carry out
Fig. 9.27. The front dependent spring suspension:
1 — frame; 2 — shock absorber; 3 — spring; 4 — buffer; 5 — axle assem-
bly; 6 — shock absorber lower bracket; 7 — trailing arm; 8 — stabilizer rod;
9 — stabilizer rod housing with seat; 10,12 — trailing arm rear-end washer;
11 — supporting bushing.
