General recommendations and safety measures

Front suspension

1 - the upper spring 2 - Bearing 3 - Coil spring 4 - Bellow 5 - The front suspension 6 - Stub 7 - Clamp 8 - Bush	9 - Rack stabilizer 10 - Arm 11 - Stabilizer 12 - The upper link (AT models only) 13 - The upper link 14 - Stretcher 15 - The front subframe

Front suspension cars Nissan Micra K12 independent with McPherson struts, wishbones and stabilizer bar. Bearing elements of the front suspension is a bar connected to the body by bolts. In both the fixed beam cross-arm, which in turn are connected with bots swivel. Strut suspension and attached to the steering knuckle. The hub and wheel bearings are not subject to regulation and repair.

Rear suspension

1 - Emphasis 2 - Bush 3 - Spacer 4 - Cover the anther 5 - Bellow	6 - Shock 7/9 - Upper / lower spring seat 8 - Coil spring 10 - crossbeam 11 - Mount the lower arm

Rear suspension with separately mounted on the beam dampers and coil springs.

Steering column

1 - Steering wheel 2 - The assembly of the steering column to the control unit EPAS, e / motor, reduction gear and encoder	3 - Intermediate shaft 4 - bolt intermediate shaft to the steering column

The steering mechanism with rods

1 - Tie Rod End 2 - Seal the bulkhead 3 - Seal 4 - Clip	5 - Bellow 6 - Tension Ring 7 - Lock nut 8 - Assembly of the steering mechanism

The steering rack and pinion with power assistance (EPAS). The steering wheel mounted front airbag. The steering mechanism has no backlash and does not require maintenance except for checking the status of its anthers and anther tips of steering drafts.

When the repair or maintenance of the suspension components and steering are often problems with loosening "become attached" bolts and nuts. Located beneath the car pumping elements are constantly exposed to external influences, and eventually corrode and partially destroyed. The use of brute force when releasing such "become attached" fixture is associated with risk of damaging it. To get started, moisten the element is not amenable to loosen a small amount of special liquid penetrant, allowing it to soak a good layer of rust. A wire brush to remove the external fat from the available plots threaded surfaces. Sometimes a sharp blow with a hammer on the nut through a drift helps break rust, filling the gaps between the turns of the screw joint, - try not to damage the thread as a result of coming off knockout. Attempting Give "become attached" fixture long knob allows you to significantly increase the applied torque, but it should be remembered that the use of extension cords with the drive ratchet type is associated with the risk of failure of the return mechanism, as well as with the possibility of injury. Damaged during the release fasteners must be replaced without fail.

Since most of the described procedures in this chapter carried out on the raised above the ground vehicle, you should take care in advance of the variants of its reliable fixation in the raised position, - prepare a strong backup. To use the car jacking Transmission Jack type - remember that belongs to the standard equipment on-board the jack is only intended for temporary jacking the car when replacing a failed wheel. The hydraulic jack can also be used for posting some of the suspension components in the performance of a particular procedure.

Not allowed execution of works under the car, held in the raised position only by means of jacks!

Carrying out welding and straightening bearing suspension components and steering components is not permitted. Self-locking nuts and corroded fasteners in the repair process should be changed.
