Withdrawal | - Poddomkratte front of the vehicle with the relevant party and establish it on props, the institution under the chassis frame and the front axle assembly.
- Remove a corresponding forward wheel.
- At a corresponding complete give bolts of stabilizer lateral stability and remove the bracket be replaced with the trailing arm.
- Give a nut from the rear end of the trailing arm, remove the washer and nut (see. Accompanying illustration). Disconnect the ball joint connecting rod steering gear from the steering knuckle on the appropriate side of the vehicle.
