Details of the installation of the front axle Withdrawal | - Drain the oil from the front differential (see chap. Current care and maintenance).
- Detach the propeller shaft (14) from the coupling flange the drive pinion and tie it to the frame.
- Give nuts of the lower strut (3).
- Loosen the diagonal rod (4) to the frame.
- Disconnect brake line (5), - immediately plug the open ends of the lines in order to minimize the loss of hydraulic fluid.
- Disconnect (and immediately plug the) hydraulic lines from the slave cylinder drive differential lock.
- Disconnect electroconducting from the gauge-switch of pressure differential lock.
- Remove the contact pad brake pad wear sensors.
- Remove the wheel sensors and the wiring sandwiched near the front axle assembly.
- Remove the anti-roll bar (6) complete with racks.
- Remove the cotter pin and release the castellated nut on the steering drag link (7).
- Extract the transverse rod (7) from the pitman arm (8).
- Disconnect from the frame (2) trailing arms (1) Suspension.
- Post car so that it was possible to remove the coil springs (10) (see. Section Removal and installation of spring front suspension).
- Remove the bolt (11) securing the diagonal rod (4), and then post the assembly of the bridge (12) forward and pull it out from under the car.

Setting | - Get a front axle assembly (12) under the car.
- Install the coil springs (10) (see. Section Removal and installation of spring front suspension).
- Install (but do not tighten yet) the bolt (11) securing the diagonal rod (4).
- Lower the car so that there was the possibility of landing the trailing arms (1) into the frame.
- Install the rubber bushing (13) and tighten the nuts.

- Connect the brake line (6), - make sure that the lines were at a distance of not less than 20 mm from the springs in any position of the front wheels.
- Connect the slave cylinder drive differential lock hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.
- Connect wiring to terminal blocks and sensors wear of the friction brake linings.
- Connect the propeller shaft (14), - make sure that the new self-locking nuts have been tightened with demanded effort.
- Fill the differential (see chap. Current care and maintenance).
