The illustration above shows an unusual location of the multi-link suspension wheels consisting of the lower wishbones (see. Section lower wishbone), and the diagonal of the upper arm with a hinge. The upper wishbone is located between the body and the upper ball bearing. The ball bearing mounted bottom of the strut and the lower side of the support finger knuckle. This compound is a bearing cap which is closed, but typically does not require maintenance. Bearings can be replaced.

On vehicles with fuel-injected engine connecting rod stabilizer bar is connected to the hinge. On vehicles with carbureted engine rod connected to the wishbone.

Arm can be easily removed, as there is no need to remove the spring strut from the vehicle. It should be noted that all rely on the rubber sleeve parts should be tightened when the car rests on its wheels.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Lift the front of the vehicle. Substitute under lower wishbone lift. Loosen the nut and bolt on the bottom of the shock absorber and knock out the bolt. When set fuel-injected engine, remove nut connecting the stabilizer bar, remove the items under it and remove the rod. Remove the cap swivel knuckle and remove the nut underneath the bearing pin on the bottom of the ball joint. Unscrew the upper wishbone on the inside and the outside. Install the lift in a better position and remove the parts that you want. In the observation of the upper arm can be seen that the steering lever on the left side is designated as "L", but on the right side of the symbol "R". Sleeve arm can not be replaced. Both swivel bearing on the knuckle can be replaced. For this emboss both bearings on opposite sides of the hinge. The lower bearing is sealed gland. The hinged bearing outer races are to be clear from opposite sides. For this purpose the rod should be installed in a corresponding groove of a holder. Upper bearing must be molded to a size of 2.5 mm from the upper bearing surface to the top edge of the yoke. In conclusion, again hammer gland until it is flush. Set the upper control arm and pivot in the reverse order of removal. All items are secure, without delay, and when the wheels are placed on the ground, tighten the bolts and nuts listed in the effort. Note the designations L and R when the upper arm. Fill the body of the thumb knuckle and cap with grease, tighten the nut and attach the cap. The illustration below shows the arrows tightened (compound stabilizer bar only if installed injection engine). The arrows indicate the attachment points of the upper arm ball joint and knuckle. On models with fuel-injected engine is also possible to see the connection stabilizer bar.
