Rubber-metal hinges and rubber cushions must be replaced in case of ruptures and one-sided bulging of rubber, as well as when their end surfaces are trimmed
Suspensions on rubber parts are not allowed:
- - signs of rubber aging;
- - mechanical damage.
On rubber-metal hinges (silent blocks) the following are not allowed:
- - signs of aging, cracks, one-sided bulging of the rubber mass;
- - separation of the rubber mass from the reinforcement.
Replace defective parts.
Look at the article - “Repair of the front beam of the GAZ-2705”
Pulling the vehicle to the side:
- Different pressure in the tires of the front wheels
Bring the tire pressure up to normal
- There is a big difference in the longitudinal inclination angles of the kingpin on the right and left sides
Check for twisting of the front suspension beam or settling of the front springs, wear of the bushing pins
- Big difference in the camber angles of the left and right wheels
Check for deflection of the beam or wear of the pins and bushings.
If bent is detected, correct the beam.
- Different tightening of the front wheel hub bearings
Check and adjust the tightness of the wheel bearings
- Non-parallelism of the axes of the front and rear axles
Check the relative position of the axles of the front and rear axles by measuring the distance between the centers of the wheels on the right and left sides.
If a difference is detected, find the cause and eliminate it.
Wobbling of the front wheels:
- Imbalance of wheels and tires assembly
Replace or balance a wheel that has a large imbalance
- Increased wear in the steering rod joints
Replace worn hinges
Accelerated lateral wear of the tire tread:
- Incorrect wheel toe value
Check whether the tie rod or steering linkage arms are bent, and whether there is any play in the tie rod joints.
Straighten bent parts, replace worn hinges.
Adjust wheel toe, article - “Checking and adjusting front wheel alignment angles”
Uneven tire tread wear:
- Large imbalance of the wheel and tire assembly
Replace or balance the wheel
Knocks when moving
- Large axial play of the kingpin
Check the gap between the upper knuckle boss and the beam boss.
Bring the gap to 0.15 mm, no more, by installing an adjusting steel shim.
If necessary, replace the thrust bearing.
- Radial play of the kingpin in the bushings
Replace the king pin and bushings
- Insufficient tightening of the front wheel hub bearings or destruction of the bearings
Adjust the tightness of the bearings. Replace damaged bearings. We look at the article - “Front wheel hub”
- Gaps in the conical connections of the steering rod fingers
Tighten the pin fastening nuts
