- slowly raising the jack, bring the front axle to its attachment points. The bridge should fit into the guide pins. At the top of the shock absorber strut, insert into the corresponding holes in the body. Pre-install rubber supports on the racks. Raise the bridge to the end;
Pic. 204. Removing the front axle
Pic. 198. Front axle assembly: 1 - shock absorber strut right; 2 - cover; 3 - rack mounting nut, 90–110 Nm; 4 — the top rubber support of a rack; 5 - front axle; 6 - bolt (with internal hexagon) steering joint mounts, 30-35 Nm; 7 — a hose of the amplifier of a steering; 8 — a hose of a return contour of the amplifier of a steering; 9 — rack and pinion steering mechanism; 10 — a hose of brake system; 11 - tee of pipelines of the brake system; 12 - shock absorber strut left; 13 - intermediate steering shaft with a hinge; 14 — a bolt of fastening of a wire of the sensor of wear of brake pads; 15 - brake pad wear sensor wire; 16 - connecting bolt for fastening the bridge to the cross beam, 90–100 Nm; 17 — washers of bolts of fastening of the engine; 18 - engine mounting bolts, 80–90 Nm
- both shown in Fig. 204 bolts (pos. 16 in fig. 198) insert into the holes and evenly tighten the bolts and their fasteners in several steps to a torque of 90–100 N·m;
Pic. 205. Marks on the gear and rack and pinion steering gear housing indicating the position of the wheels straight
- set the wheels straight. In this case, the marks on the rack and pinion gear and its housing must match, as shown in Fig. 205;
Pic. 201. Intermediate steering shaft with hinge
- install the intermediate shaft joint on the gear (see fig. 201), tighten the bolt (pos. 6 in fig. 198) and tighten it to a torque of 25–30 Nm;
- slowly lower the engine onto the supports, tighten the mounting bolts to 85 Nm. Remove the lifting device;
- install an air duct;
- screw on the union nuts of the hydraulic booster hoses and tighten them (be sure to remove the clamps previously installed on the hoses);
- tighten the shock absorber strut mounting nuts to a torque of 90–110 N·m and close with covers;
- attach the brake hoses to the tees and tighten to a torque of 12–16 Nm;
- connect the wire of the brake pad wear sensor and tighten its fastening to 10 Nm. Check if the wire is laid correctly;
- install the wheels and tighten the bolts of their fastenings by hand. After lowering the vehicle, tighten the wheel bolts to 160–180 Nm;
- install caps;
- bleed the brakes (see related section);
- start the engine and let it run for a while. Turn the steering wheel several times from one extreme position to another. Stop the engine and check the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. Add fluid if necessary.
