Vaz 2112 DIY front suspension repair

In detail: vaz 2112 do-it-yourself front suspension repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

The cars of the "Tenth Family" were produced by the VAZ plant in the early 2000s. These include the Lada-112 hatchbacks, the design of which is considered the most successful. On the VAZ-2112, the front suspension is arranged in the same way as on station wagons or sedans. And it is arranged more complicated than on all cars of the Logan family. The reason is the absence of triangular levers. But in the VAZ-2110 (2112) suspension, you can customize literally everything, and for Logan we only set up the toe.

Sometimes the suspension assembly is tuned. But what is shown in the video, it is better not to repeat. We look ...

The photo shows what the right disc suspension looks like. It is easy to recognize the telescopic support 6 as well as the lever 3. Both of these parts form the basis of the assembly.

Let's list the main details in ascending order: 1 - anti-roll bar; 2 - stabilizer link; 3 - suspension arm; 4 - ball bearing; 5 - steering fist; 6 - suspension rack; 7 - stretching (saber); 8 - brace bracket.

Parts 7 and 3 could form a "monolith". But even then they would be mounted on hinges, and in the VAZ-2112 (and 2110) suspension structure, we will find these hinges plus one more - it connects parts 3 and 7.

The pivot arm is not shown in the photo, but here it is attached to the shock absorber, that is, it is part of it.
