Car repair VAZ-2121

Front suspension – independent, on forked transverse steel levers, with helical cylindrical springs, double-acting telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers and anti-roll bar

The principle of operation of the shock absorber is based on the creation of increased resistance to body rocking due to the forced flow of fluid through small flow sections in the valves (this applies to oil shock absorbers, while in gas shock absorbers the principle of operation is based on the pressure of gas pumped under a certain pressure)

Hang up and remove the front wheel

The rod and stretchers are usually removed when the rubber cushions wear out, the suspension is repaired, and also in case of various deformations of these parts

We carry out the work on an inspection pit or lift. We hang up and remove the front wheels

We remove the mudguards and the protective plate of the engine oil pan.

Checking the wheel alignment angles is mandatory if suspension components that may change the wheel alignment were replaced or repaired

Rear suspension — dependent, with coil springs and double-acting hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers

All suspension elements are attached to brackets on the rear axle beam.

You can verify the functionality of the shock absorber without special equipment by vigorously shaking the car body downwards. The body must return to its original position without oscillations
