Elements of a suspension bracket of forward wheels

1 — the Bolt, 75nm
2 — the Washer
3 — the Bolt. Surely replace
4 — the suspension bracket Lever top back. Replace a support
5 — the Bolt, 7nm
6 — the Bolt
7 — the Self-stopped nut, 50nm, surely replace
8 — the Bolt
9 — the Self-stopped nut, 40nm, surely replace
10 — the suspension bracket Lever top forward. Can act only together with a support
11 — Amortizatsionaya is resistant
12 — the Bolt. Surely replace
13 — the Directing lever with a hydrosupport. If on a hydrosupport there is considerable leak of oil, the support needs to be replaced

37 — the Nut, 50nm and then tighten on 90 °. Surely replace
38 — the Nut with a fillet, 50nm. Surely replace

The four-lever, independent suspension bracket of forward wheels has depreciation racks of McPherson and the torsion stabilizer of cross stability.

Depreciation racks consist of cylindrical screw springs, shock-absorbers in the form of a double pipe and the top support of the big size. The stabilizer does not participate in the direction of wheels, and through connecting bars is connected with depreciation racks.

The depreciation rack is fixed by bolts to a support of the top lever and to the forward cross lever.

Optimum running characteristics and the minimum wear of tires it is reached only in that case when wheels hold the correct position. At the wrong wear of tires, and also at insufficient stability on the road it is necessary to perform optical measurements and, if necessary, to adjust corners of installation of wheels.

The torque transmission of the power unit on wheels is carried out through two power shafts, each of which, via two hinges of equal angular speeds, is connected with wheels and the main transfer.
