Steering knuckles and front wheel hubs — removal and installation Place the car on stands. Remove the wheel cap and unscrew the wheel nuts. Remove the cotter pin from the wheel hub nut and unscrew the nut. To do this, have an assistant press the brake pedal. You can also loosen the...
Replacing a wheel bearing Replacing wheel bearings requires a puller to remove the hub from the steering knuckle and the inner bearing race from the outside of the wheel hub. The wheel hub and steering knuckle are shown in Figure 192. Pic. 192....
Installing the wheel hub Installing the wheel hub is done in the reverse order. The wheel bearing does not require adjustment. Consider the following points: Place the steering knuckle with the wheel hub onto the end of the drive shaft and...
Removing the wishbone The wishbone is easy to remove since it does not require removing the shock absorber strut. Pic. 197 shows the details of the wishbone, and all work is carried out with reference to this figure. To secure the anti-roll...
Repair of wishbone The bushings at the rear end of the wishbone are replaced. To do this, place the transverse arm in a vice and unscrew the bolt at the end of the support. Remove the washer and bushing from the support pin. Pay attention...
Installing the wishbone Using Figure 197: If the ball joint was removed, insert the joint rod into the steering knuckle and tighten the old nut with a tightening torque of 20 Nm. After this, unscrew the nut and screw in a new one with a...

Adjusting the front wheel alignment angles When checking the front wheel alignment, the vehicle must be on a level surface and the tires must be at the specified pressure. Before measuring toe-in, it is important that the steering and wheel suspension are...
Toe adjustment Toe is adjusted by lengthening or shortening the tie rod after loosening the tie rod locknuts. Since there is no need to move the steering knuckles, they can remain attached to the steering knuckle arms. Tie rods must...
Adjusting the steering angle Precise adjustment of the angle of rotation of the front wheels is carried out on the turntable. The angle of rotation of the steering wheels is given in the table of dimensions and adjustments. It's about the angles...
Adjusting the longitudinal angle of the wheel rotation axis The steering angle is the rearward tilt of the shock absorber so that the line through the shock absorber intersects the road surface before the tire hits the ground (see fig. 208). The longitudinal angle of the...
Camber adjustment Camber refers to the outward tilt of the front wheels, meaning the top side of the tire sticks out more than the bottom side. Pic. 209 gives a clear picture of the camber. The camber of the front wheels is not...
