Dismantling of a suspension bracket of forward wheels

Details of a forward amortisation rack and sequence of their assemblage

1 – a nut with a flange;
2 – the bearing of an amortisation rack;
3 – an intermediate washer;
4 – the top spring plate;
5 – a spring;
6 – the shock-absorber buffer;

7 – a protective cover;
8 – a protective cap;
9 – the bottom lining under a spring;
10 – the bottom spring plate;
11 – the shock-absorber.

At the left: dismantle of an amortisation rack above. After removal of both protective caps it is possible to weaken nuts 1 and 2 top rigid fastenings of an amortisation rack.

On the right: dismantle of an amortisation rack below. The arrow specifies in screw connection with the cross-section lever of a forward suspension bracket below.

 

The forward dismantled amortisation rack

1 – the top bearing of an amortisation rack;
2 – a spring;

3 – the shock-absorber;
4 – вилочная a head.


That in the dismantled amortisation rack to separate a spring from the shock-absorber, spring coupling collars (arrows) are used.

 


At the left: corner position () the top plate of a spring on the right (R) and at the left (L) mirror in relation to a screwing up axis below at вильчатой heads (1). By an arrow the movement direction (F) is shown.

On the right: assembly position of the bottom plate of a spring (1) on the shock-absorber (2): the aperture (arrow) is with displacement outside in 90 in relation to a screwing up axis ().

In knots of a suspension bracket of forward wheels much can be disassembled and collected independently though for carrying out of certain works tools from a workshop are necessary. The damaged details of a suspension bracket of wheels cannot be corrected or even to weld, it is necessary to replace them only.

Dismantle of a forward amortisation rack

Dismantle of an amortisation rack in Audi A4 is not especially labour-consuming. Pleasantly also that it is not necessary to measure adjustment of wheels anew.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Get new самоконтрящиеся nuts for fastening of an amortisation rack below and above, and also for the top screw connection of the bearing hinge.
  2. Lift both rubber tips in the humidifying tank (they close the top screw connections of amortisation racks).
  3. Unscrew under them both nuts of an amortisation rack.
  4. Lift and fix a forward part of the car.
  5. Remove a wheel.
  6. Disconnect on an amortisation rack a wire to the gauge of number of turns ABS.
  7. Unscrew a nut of a tightening bolt of the top hinge of an axis. Take out tightening a bolt.
  8. Take out axis hinges upwards from the case of the wheel bearing (rotary fists). Thus at all do not expand, for example, with a screw-driver шлиц in the case of the wheel bearing.
  9. Do not wring out the hinge of cross-section steering draught.
  10. Cast away outside the case of the wheel bearing.
  11. Unscrew the bottom screw connection of an amortisation rack.
  12. Cautiously take out an amortisation rack from a wheel niche.
  13. Installation: establish an amortisation rack so that the aperture in the bottom plate of a spring has been turned to the car centre.
  14. Tighten the bottom fastening of an amortisation rack on 90 Nanometers.
  15. Insert bearing hinges into the case of the wheel bearing against the stop.
  16. Insert tightening a bolt of the top hinges of an axis, tighten a nut on 40 Nanometers.
  17. Again fix wire ABS.
  18. Tighten the top nuts of an amortisation rack on 20 Nanometers.

Replacement of the forward shock-absorber

For this work which is spent on the dismantled amortisation rack, the spring tension device necessarily is required. Two tension devices are used, at least; better three. Without use of the tension device it is impossible to weaken a nut with a flange above on the piston of a rod of the piston of the shock-absorber as the spring is under a high preliminary tension. Details of an amortisation rack can scatter every which way, as at explosion, – extreme danger of reception of traumas! Besides, the weakened spring cannot be established.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Dismantle an amortisation rack.
  2. Clamp an amortisation rack for вильчатую a head in a vice. Never tighten in the field of a cylindrical detail, differently the amortisation rack will be squeezed.
  3. Establish the tension device on coils of a spring and slightly compress a spring.
  4. That tension devices have not slid off, paste over corresponding coils of a spring with a sticky tape.
  5. Loosen the a nut with a flange above an amortisation rack. By means of a key with internal шестигранником wring out in an opposite side a rod of the piston of the shock-absorber.
  6. Remove a spring with auxiliary details.
  7. Remove a protective cap and a lining under a spring.
  8. Separate a spring plate a plastic hammer and remove it.
  9. Installation: put on a spring plate the new shock-absorber.
  10. Pay attention to assembly position: the aperture should be in a spring plate with displacement in 90 in relation to apertures in вильчатой to a head below on the shock-absorber (a maximum deviation only 2 ).
  11. Establish a lining under a spring, a protective cap and a cover, and also the persistent shock-absorber.
  12. Establish on a plate a spring which is still under a tension; track that the bottom end of coils of a spring adjoined to an emphasis of a plate of a spring.
  13. Put on the top plate of a spring with the bearing of an amortisation rack and a washer.
  14. Twirl a spring plate according to drawing on 11 to an axis of screwing up of the shock-absorber (below at вильчатой heads). On right and a left-hand side different directions.
  15. Work precisely: the admission is made only 2 .
  16. Tighten a nut with a flange above on an amortisation rack on 60 Nanometers. By means of a key with internal шестигранником wring out in an opposite side a rod of the piston of the shock-absorber.
  17. Loosen the a spring tension, thus track that the spring end adjoined to an emphasis of a lining of a spring.

Dismantle of the forward wheel bearing

Here figures (1-3) designate fixing bolts of the top arm of the bearing of a forward axis.

The wheel bearing the external ring запрессован in the case, in an internal ring of the bearing запрессована a wheel nave. The new wheel bearing in no event is impossible заколачивать in a nest a hammer, differently the nearest damage will be mounted together with it. Therefore отжим and запрессовку the bearing the workshop where on hand there is a repair press does.

Replacement of the lever of an independent suspension bracket of an axis

Both arrows specify on so-called фланцевые nuts with which help axis hinges on the case of the wheel bearing fasten.

Bearing hinges (axis hinges) on four levers of a suspension bracket on each outer side of a forward axis cannot be got separately the same as their cuffs. From this it follows that at defect of the bearing hinge it is necessary to change all lever of an independent suspension bracket at once.

Not so affairs with резинометаллическими support on an inside of levers of a suspension bracket of an axis are. They in a workshop can be wrung out and запрессовать separately. Thus it is necessary to adhere to their assembly position precisely. We prefer and we describe replacement in gathering as запрессовка it should be made in a workshop. Besides, in this case the axis hinge thanks to what the following defect in the same knot is excluded is simultaneously replaced.
