Preliminary checks
1. The car in an unladen state should stand on a level ground.
Note: * - fully filled fuel tank, coolant and oil levels in the engine, spare wheel, jack and a set of standard tools are in place.
2. Check tire type and tire pressure. If the pressure is not correct, adjust the pressure (see table "Tires and wheels").
Table. Tires and wheels.
Note: * - the weight of one weight should not exceed 60 g, the weight of the weights on one side should not exceed 120 g. There should not be more than two weights on one side.
3. Check up an axial backlash of bearings of naves of forward wheels. If necessary, adjust the axial clearance of the bearings.
4. Check up beating of disks and tires.
5. Check up absence of considerable deterioration in spherical support and connections of steering draughts.
6. Having shaken the car, check up work of shock-absorbers.
Checking and adjusting suspension height
Note: Before adjusting the suspension angles, be sure to first adjust the suspension height. Changing the suspension height may cause other suspension angles already adjusted.
1. Carry out preliminary checks.
2. Place the vehicle on a level, level surface.
3. Measure on both sides the distance from the center of the wheel to the lower edge of the wing. The difference between two measurements should not exceed 10 mm.
- Height - 502 - 542 mm
If necessary, adjust the height of the front suspension by turning the adjusting bolt.
Note: Turning the adjusting bolt one full turn changes the suspension height by 3.3mm.
Checking and adjusting wheel angles
1. Place the vehicle on a wheel alignment stand and check the maximum steering angles.
Note: If a portable leveling stand is used for adjustment, the rear wheels are placed on a stand so that the vehicle is level.
Wheel turning angles:
- Internal - 31°30' - 35°30'
- External - 27°00' - 32°00'
2. If necessary, adjust the wheel angles.
A) Remove the hub cap.
b) Loosen the adjusting bolt locknut.
V) Rotate the adjusting bolt to adjust the steering angles of the wheels.
G) Tighten the adjusting bolt locknut.
- Tightening torque - 39 - 59 Nm
d) Install the hub cap.
Camber and caster check
1. Rock the car up and down several times to stabilize the suspension.
2. Measure the camber and caster.
- Camber — 0°45'±1°mm
- Longitudinal inclination of the axis of rotation — 2°06'±1°mm
Camber and caster adjustment
1. Loosen the front axle upper arm axle bolt.
2. To adjust the angles, select the thickness of the shims.
Note:
- Do not install more than two spacers (№ 1-5) On the one side.
- Do not install more than one spacer (№ 6-11) On the one side.
- To adjust the camber, spacers #1-5 are used. Adding/removing one 1mm thick spacer reduces/increases camber by 15'.
- To adjust the longitudinal inclination of the axis of rotation, spacers No. 6-11 are used:
- Adding one 1mm spacer on the front side or removing it on the rear side increases the pitch by 30'.
- Adding one 1mm spacer on the back or removing it on the front reduces the pitch by 30'.
3. Tighten the axle bolt of the upper arm of the front suspension.
- Tightening torque - 150 - 172 Nm
Checking and adjusting the convergence
1. Rock the car up and down several times to stabilize the suspension.
2. Measure the amount of convergence.
- Nominal value — 6±3 mm
3. If necessary, adjust the convergence of the front wheels.
A) Set the front wheels to the straight ahead position.
b) Loosen the lock nuts on the tie rod ends.
V) Rotate the tie rods to adjust the toe.
G) Rotate both tie rods at the same angle during adjustment. Both rods are right hand threaded. When rotating the right arm clockwise, the left arm must be rotated counterclockwise.
Note: Turning both links one full turn changes the amount of toe by approximately 30mm.
d) Tighten the tie rod end nuts.
- Tightening torque - 69 - 79 Nm
