Special tool required
- Emb. 880 Inertial puller.
Tightening torques, Nm
- Upper shock absorber support mounting bolt 115.
- Lower shock absorber support mounting bolt 85.
Removal
1. With the vehicle raised so that its wheels hang freely, remove the faulty shock absorber.
2. Remove the torsion bar from the side of the faulty shock absorber using the Emb.880 puller.
Installation
1. Make a jig to position the suspension arms so that the torsion bar can be installed correctly.
A - Nut, diameter 14 mm.
B - Nut, diameter 12 mm.
C - Threaded rod, diameter 12 mm, length 660 mm.
D - Sheet steel bracket, length 30 mm, width 5 mm.
E - Bolt, diameter 12 mm, length 60 mm, threaded length - 20 mm.
F - Welded seam.
2. Pre-adjust the fixture to size X = 402 mm.
3. Install the device in place of the shock absorber.
4. Lubricate the torsion bar splines with MOLYKOTE BR2, install the torsion bar in the support inside the beam rod and on the beam rod support bracket.
5. Rotate the threaded rod of the device to find a position in which the torsion bar easily enters the splines: both the supports inside the beam rod and on the beam rod support bracket.
6. Remove the fixture and install the shock absorber.
7. Place the vehicle on its wheels and measure the position of the lower body control points (see p. 6.1).
