At the left: the arrow specifies in the bottom screw connection of an amortisation rack on cross-section steering draught.

On the right: here figures designate fixing bolts of an amortisation rack / a wheel niche (1, 2, 4, 5), and also the top fastening of the shock-absorber (3).

Before replacement of shock-absorbers it is necessary to establish, what is established a running gear. Only after that it is possible to order the necessary shock-absorbers. It can be found out on a label with the information on the car at the bottom of a luggage carrier or in dredging for a spare wheel.

Symbols:

  • ВА – serial model
  • ВЕ – a sports running gear

The shock-absorber separates from the dismantled amortisation rack by means of the spring tension device. Such tension devices are on sale in shop of the accompanying goods. It is important to know that the fixing eye of the shock-absorber should be under a certain corner to the top fastening of an amortisation rack. Workshop Audi applies the spring tension device to its correct installation with an angular scale. Without this device it is necessary to use a scent and a goniometer.

Dismantle of back shock-absorbers

Cars with a forward drive

Along with new shock-absorbers use also new самоконтрящуюся a nut for the top fastening of the shock-absorber:

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Dismantle an amortisation rack and clamp it in a vice for the bottom fixing eye. Do not clamp it in the field of external diameter, differently it will be pressed through.
  2. Establish the tension device on coils of a spring and slightly compress a spring.
  3. That the tension device has not slid off, paste over corresponding coils of a spring with a sticky tape.
  4. Wring out a protective cap, ослабьте above on a connecting bar of the stabilizer самоконтрящуюся a nut, thus wring out a bar in an opposite direction a key with internal шестигранником.
  5. After nut unscrewing remove details of the top support of an amortisation rack and combine them in sequence of dismantle.
  6. Remove from the shock-absorber a spring and auxiliary details.
  7. At assemblage pay attention that: the basis of a spring and a lining are greased with talc and at assemblage are corrected in a direction of an eye of the shock-absorber.
  8. Establish still compressed spring.
  9. The colour label on a spring is turned downwards to a spring plate.
  10. At correct installation the bottom end of a spring adjoins to a lining emphasis.
  11. Assemblage of details in that order, as is shown in drawing above.
  12. Above the spring end also adjoins to the top dredging for a spring eye.
  13. Correct the shock-absorber and a spring plate above how it is shown in drawing above.
  14. Tighten a fixing nut above on 25 Nanometers.
  15. If it is necessary, move on the end of a spring a spring lining below and a lining on an emphasis.
  16. Slowly ослабьте a spring.
  17. Put on from above a cap, thus its arrangement correct according to drawing.
  18. About installation of an amortisation rack see in the previous section.

Dismantle of back shock-absorbers

Cars quattro

Along with new shock-absorbers use also new самоконтрящуюся a nut and a new bolt for the top fastening of the shock-absorber:

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Dismantle an amortisation rack and clamp it in a vice for the bottom fixing eye. Do not clamp it in the field of external diameter, differently it will be pressed through.
  2. Establish the tension device on coils of a spring and slightly compress a spring.
  3. That the tension device has not slid off, paste over corresponding coils of a spring with a sticky tape.
  4. Loosen the самоконтрящуюся a nut of the top fastening of the shock-absorber, take out a bolt.
  5. Remove the shock-absorber, a spring and демпфирующее a ring.
  6. Establish still the compressed spring.
  7. The colour label on a spring is turned below to a spring plate.
  8. The bottom end of a spring adjoins to dredging of an eye of a spring below on the shock-absorber.
  9. Above the spring end too adjoins to dredging of an amortisation ring.
  10. Again collect an amortisation rack (a spring still under a tension).
  11. In the beginning freely manually screw the top fastening of the shock-absorber on the top part of an amortisation rack (the so-called adapter).
  12. The shock-absorber and the top part of an amortisation rack correct so that imagined axes of both fixing apertures of shock-absorbers were under the relation to each other at an angle 21 (the admission only 2 ). Thus the bottom aperture is in front turned to a car outer side (drawing on the right above see).
  13. In this position unload a spring.
  14. Now tighten a nut of a fixing bolt of the shock-absorber on 70 Nanometers. Then tighten it on 1/2 turns.
  15. About installation of an amortisation rack see in section above.

Replacement of the bearing of a back wheel

Cars with a forward drive

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. On each party one is used new шплинт, one internal and one external bearing, and also a sealing ring.
  2. Lift and fix the car.
  3. Dismantle brake disks (the head of the Brake), for this purpose dismantle a support.
  4. Remove a cap for greasing of the wheel bearing.
  5. Straighten safety шплинт and take out it.

  7. Remove a press washer and the external wheel bearing.
  8. Wring out behind in the middle of a wheel nave a sealing ring, take out the bearing and wipe in a nave old greasing.
  9. Rotating rings of both bearings take out from the middle of a nave of a wheel. For this purpose put from the different parties from within a brass core to a rotating ring and soft blows of a hammer beat out it outside. Track that the ring was not bent.
  10. Establish on a wheel nave a new ring of the bearing. For protection put from above an old ring of the bearing (the thick party downwards) that at cautious driving in there was no damage on a working surface of the new bearing.
  11. Hammer all rings of bearings against the stop.
  12. Now again take out all old rings of bearings put for protection.
  13. Fill with greasing intermediate space between both rings of the bearing, and also a ring and bearings.
  14. Insert the internal bearing.
  15. In regular intervals hammer with a rubber hammer a sealing ring on an inside.
  16. Pull a wheel nave over the axis end.
  17. Put on the external wheel bearing and a press washer.
