Suspension bracket rack elements
|
1. The shock-absorber with a spring
2. Cap
3. Rack support
4. Dustproof ring
5. Spring nest
|
6. Top insulator
7. Suspension bracket spring
8. Rubber damper
9. Lower insulator
10. Shock-absorber |
If the rack of a suspension bracket or a spring have strong indications of wear or damages (there is a leak of liquid from the shock-absorber, depreciation deterioration, emergence of cracks or deformation of a spring), the shock-absorber of a rack of a suspension bracket or a spring need to be replaced. The shock-absorber and a spring are not subject to repair.
It is possible to replace a suspension bracket rack together with a spring, and it is possible to sort a rack and to replace only the shock-absorber of a rack or a spring. Before decision-making, learn about the prices and existence of spare parts.
Prevention
Dismantling of a rack of a suspension bracket is rather dangerous operation and this work needs to be carried out with big accuracy as it is possible to suffer a serious injury. Use devices for compression of springs only quality and reliability and precisely follow instructions of the producer for installation of compressors on a spring. After removal of a spring from a rack put it in the safe place that it did not disturb you during the work.
Dismantling
| PERFORMANCE ORDER |
| 1. Remove a suspension bracket rack, being guided by the instructions provided in the previous section. Establish a rack in a vice, having put wooden laying or rags between sponges of a vice not to damage a rack. Do not clamp a vice too strongly. |
|
2. Following instructions of the producer, install compressors (which can be got or hired) on a spring and squeeze it so that it did not press on the top nest any more. It can be checked, having shaken a spring here and there. |
|
3. Turn off a nut on the end of a rod of the shock-absorber by means of a key with a cap head and remove. |
|
4. Remove a nut and a support of a rack. Check operation of the bearing in a rack support. If it does not rotate freely, replace a rack support. Check a rubber part of a support for existence of cracks or other wear tracks. If rubber burst or tore, replace a support. |
|
5. Remove a nest of a spring and the top insulator from a shock-absorber rod. Check a rubber nest of a spring for existence of cracks or consolidations and replace it if it is necessary. |
|
6. Accurately remove the compressed spring from a rack and place it in the safe place. You watch that a spring, any of the ends, it was not turned to a body. |
Prevention
You watch that the ends of a spring were not near the head.
|
| 7. Remove a rubber damper from a shock-absorber rod. |
8. Check the lower insulator (if is available) for existence of wear tracks,
cracks or consolidations also replace it if it is necessary. |
|
Assembly
| PERFORMANCE ORDER |
| 1. If you replace the lower insulator, install it into place so that the acting part got to deepening of a nest of a spring. Get a shock-absorber rod at all length and establish a rubber damper (see rice. Suspension bracket rack elements). |
|
2. Accurately install a spring on the lower insulator so that the end of a spring got to the deepest part of the isolation center – in deepening of the lower nest (it is specified by an arrow). |
|
3. Install the top insulator and a nest of a spring, having checked that the flat parties of an opening in a nest coincided with sides on a shock-absorber rod (are specified by an arrow). |
| 4. Establish a dustproof ring and a support of a rack on a shock-absorber rod. |
| 5. Establish a fixing nut and tighten it till the required inhaling moment (see subsection 10.1). |
| 6. Install a suspension bracket rack on the car, being guided by the instructions provided in the previous section (see subsection 10.2). |
