Domestic cars differ in one characteristic feature: after a run of ten to thirty thousand kilometers, their brakes on the rear axle begin to fail. A feature that, frankly, does not please motorists very much. And if the car is driven in winter, and even on a slippery road, then such a distribution of braking forces (when the "front end" has already fallen into a skid, and the "rear" has not yet begun to slow down), there is a direct threat of an accident.
Necessary
- - 10 mm spanner,
- - 19 mm spanner.
Instructions
Step 1
In general, the braking force distribution between the axles of the vehicle is the responsibility of the brake force regulator mounted on the underside of the vehicle.
The adjustment of the specified regulator must be performed at each passage of TO-2, but only a few motorists comply with this requirement. What can we say about the masters working in car services, they generally ignore the adjustment of such nodes.
Step 2
Therefore, drivers have to correct the violation in the redistribution of braking force between the axles of the car on their own.
To restore the braking efficiency of the car, for its own safety, the car is placed in an inspection pit. Moreover, the car at this moment must have full mass.
Step 3
Then the lock nut is tightened and the adjusting bolt is unscrewed by two or three turns.
Step 4
After that, the rear of the car is pressed down from above by the weight of its own body, pressing on the rear bumper. It is necessary to press down the car several times.
Step 5
Having gone down into the inspection hole, the adjusting screw is carefully turned until the end of the screw touches the piston crown, and then it turns another 240 degrees around its axis. Then the position of the bolt is fixed with a lock nut.
Step 6
Having finished adjusting the brakes, the working stroke of the piston is checked, which, after pressing the brake pedal, should come out of the cylinder within 1, 7-2, 3 mm. Any discrepancy with the specified standard indicates a malfunction of the brake force regulator.
