Checking the condition of the rear suspension parts on the car (Renault Logan 1)

Check the condition of the rear suspension from underneath the vehicle, installed on a lift or inspection pit. The following is not allowed on rubber suspension parts:

• signs of rubber aging;
• mechanical damage.

The following are not permitted on rubber-metal hinges:

• signs of aging, cracks;
• one-sided bulging of the rubber mass.

Replace defective parts.

Check for mechanical damage (deformations, cracks, etc.) suspension elements.

1. When checking, carefully inspect...



2. ...rubber bushings of the lower hinges...



3. ... cushions of the upper shock absorber joints...

4. ...shock absorbers (fluid leaks and "sweating" are not allowed)...



5. ...rubber-metal hinges (silent blocks) fastening the rear suspension beam to the brackets on the body.



6. Also check the rear wheel hub bearings, springs and compression buffers.

Note. Pay attention to the exhaust system. Extraneous knocking sounds from it are often mistaken for knocking in the rear suspension. The use of non-standard parts or a break in the muffler suspension elements can cause a strong knock, especially when revving. To check, stop the engine, carefully inspect the exhaust system, check the reliability of the fastening and suspension of the muffler. Taking the end of the exhaust pipe, swing the muffler up and down and from side to side - there should be no knocking.
