A threaded connection of the trailing arm with wheel bearing housing can be tightened only when the remaining parts (springs and dampers - required) on the wheel suspension are installed. When tightening the wheel suspension must be unsprung. Only now trailing arm and wheel bearing housing are moved into position (Fig. 4.76). When you perform the following operations should strictly observe the sequence of actions. Install the trailing arm and support bracket bolts on the wheel bearing housing, not tightening.
Insert the connecting rod 1 in the trailing arm, without tightening the nut (Fig. 4.77). Lift the wheel suspension using a rack for the engine and gearbox and support until the support arm touches the body. Tighten bolts to the old fingerprint. Again lower the wheel suspension at the front and remove the bearing from the hub. Install the coil spring. Tighten the bolts to the trailing arm torque, making sure the correct position of the parts. Tighten the connecting rod to the wheel bearing housing.
