GENERAL INFORMATION

Steering elements

The independent forward suspension bracket of the MacPherson type includes cylindrical springs and compound telescopic shock-absorbers. Racks of MacPherson fasten to the bottom cross-section levers of a suspension bracket by means of spherical hinges. On rotary fists wheel bearings, brake supports and a nave are established. The forward stabilizer of cross-section stability is established on all models. The stabilizer fastens via rubber plugs on the bottom frame and is connected directly with racks of a forward suspension bracket.

The stabilizer of cross-section stability is fixed on the bottom frame and connected to naves the scenes.

The steering column has the universal hinge located from the bottom party which connects a steering shaft to the intermediate shaft having the second universal hinge in the lower part. The bottom universal hinge connects a steering column to the steering mechanism by means of a tightening bolt.

The steering mechanism is established on a forward bottom frame and connected with two steering drafts spherical hinges on the external ends of steering drafts. On the ends of steering drafts there is a carving for adjustment of a convergence of forward wheels.

Precautions

The airbag of safety is established on a steering wheel. At performance of a number of works it is necessary to observe certain precautions not to damage a safety airbag:

  – before performance of any works on a safety cushion remove a wire from the accumulator and wait on extremely measure 1 minute that the condenser of system was discharged;
  – do not heat up a safety cushion above 90 ° With;
  – the safety cushion and the control unit are sensitive to blow. If there was their falling from height more than 50 cm, it is necessary to replace them;
  – disconnect contact of a wire of the control unit from a safety cushion when using arc electric welding.
