You carry out all checks and works from below the car installed on the elevator or a viewing ditch (with the hung-out forward wheels).

At each maintenance and repair it is necessary to check a condition of protective covers of spherical support of a suspension bracket, on covers there should not be mechanical damages.

Find out whether is not present on details of a suspension bracket of cracks or traces of a zadevaniye against road obstacles or a body, deformation of levers, bars of the stabilizer and its racks, body front details in places of fastening of knots and details of a suspension bracket.

Check a condition of rubber-metal hinges, rubber pillows, spherical hinges of a suspension bracket, and also a condition (draft) of the top support of telescopic racks of a suspension bracket.

Rubber-metal hinges and rubber pillows are subject to replacement at gaps and a unilateral vypuchivaniye of rubber, and also when cutting their face surfaces.

Fig. 4.2. An arrangement of elements of a forward suspension bracket on the car: 1 – forward hinge (saylentblok) of the lever of a forward suspension bracket; 2 – spring of a forward suspension bracket; 3 – damping rack of a forward suspension bracket; 4 – spherical support; 5 – hinge of the stabilizer of cross stability; 6 – bar of the stabilizer of cross stability; 7 – back hinge (saylentblok) of the lever of a forward suspension bracket; 8 – stretcher

The arrangement of elements of a forward suspension bracket on the car is shown in fig. 4.2.

On rubber details of a suspension bracket are not allowed:

– rubber aging signs;

– mechanical damages.

On rubber-metal hinges are not allowed:

– signs of aging, crack, unilateral vypuchivaniye of the rubber massif;

– lead of the rubber massif over fittings.

Replace faulty details.

Prevention Pay special attention to mechanical damages (deformations, cracks, etc.) suspension bracket elements, especially levers.

1. Check a condition of protective covers of spherical support. If covers are damaged, replace spherical support assembled.	2. Shaking a wheel in the vertical plane, check spherical support for existence of side plays. If there are side plays of spherical fingers, replace support.

Good advice When rocking of the hung-out forward wheel it is difficult to distinguish side plays in bearings of naves and in spherical support. Ask the assistant to press a brake pedal: if in this case feel a side play, then spherical support are faulty.

3. Check for lack of a side play lobbies...	4.... and back saylentblok in places of fastening of levers to a stretcher.

5. Check a condition of rubber pillows in places of fastening of racks of the stabilizer of cross resistance to the suspension bracket lever...	6.... and a condition of plugs in the place of fastening of a bar of the stabilizer to a rack.

7. Check a condition of rubber pillows in places of fastening of a bar of the stabilizer of cross resistance to a stretcher.

8. Check a condition of the protection cover of a damping rack.

9. Lift a protective cover and check the shock-absorber for tightness. Begin to flow liquids are not allowed.

10. Replace the faulty or damaged details.
