The car body sagging on springs gives the driver a lot of inconvenience on the road. Because when overcoming obstacles with difficult terrain, the car clings to the bottom of the road surface, and at the moment of oscillation, the tires rub against the wheel arches.
Necessary
- - damping rubber bands of the suspension increased in thickness - 1 set.
- - wrenches for 13, 14, 17 and 19 mm,
- - ties for springs.
Instructions
Step 1
The procedure for raising the body of a car of the "classic" VAZ series, with the aim of increasing ground clearance, takes the car owner 4-5 hours of time.
Step 2
After purchasing a set of enlarged damper rubber inserts between the body and the suspension springs, the front part of the car with the wheels removed is installed using a jack on a rigid support.
Step 3
Then the jack is placed under the lower suspension arm and lifted, but so that the machine does not fall off the supports. Further, the shock absorber is released from the upper mount, and its stem is recessed inward.
Step 4
At the next stage, the tie rod end is disconnected from the pivot pin, and the spring is compressed as much as possible by the ties. After that, the lower ball joint is disconnected from the trunnion.
Step 5
Having lowered the jack, the upper damper rubber band is removed, and a new part, increased in height, is installed in its place. After replacing the rubber bands, the suspension on this side of the car is assembled, and a similar procedure is carried out on the opposite side of the front of the car.
Step 6
Having finished with the front of the car, they begin to replace the rear damper rubber bands.
Step 7
To accomplish this task, the attachment of the longitudinal jet rods is disconnected from the rear axle. Then ties are installed on the spring, which are slightly compressed.
Step 8
Raising the rear part of the car with a jack as much as possible, between the spring and the car body, at the top, the old rubber band is replaced with a new, increased in height spare part. The work is done on the opposite side of the rear suspension in the same way.
Step 9
After replacing the rubber bands, the jet rods are articulated with the lugs of the rear axle, and the car, which has acquired an increased ground clearance, is again ready for use.
