21.9. Rubber elastic coupling of the driveshaft

Check

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Tighten the emergency brake, then lift a forward part of the car and record on supports.
2. Check a condition of the rubber elastic coupling connecting a forward part of the driveshaft to an output flange of the transmission for lack of wear, damages, cracks and aging. If necessary replace the rubber elastic coupling.

Replacement

Prevention

When replacing the rubber elastic coupling of the driveshaft it is necessary to use new nuts of fastening of the coupling.

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Remove the driveshaft.

FORWARD COUPLING

Arrangement of a ledge of a quencher of tortional fluctuations on models where the axis of bolts of fastening is displaced on 40 mm from a driveshaft axis

Combination of an arrow with a ledge on a flange on models where the axis of a bolt is displaced on 45 mm and more, concerning a driveshaft axis

PERFORMANCE ORDER
2. Apply combination tags on the coupling and a quencher of tortional fluctuations of the driveshaft.
3. Unscrew nuts, take bolts and remove the coupling from the driveshaft. Check a condition of a quencher of tortional fluctuations and, if necessary, replace it.
4. Install a quencher of tortional fluctuations on the driveshaft according to the tags put before removal. On models where the axis of bolts of fastening is displaced from a driveshaft axis on 40 mm, establish a quencher of tortional fluctuations as it is shown in the drawing Arrangement of a Ledge of a Quencher of Tortional Fluctuations on models where the axis of bolts of fastening is displaced on 40 mm from a driveshaft axis. On models where the axis under bolts of fastening is displaced from an axis of a bent shaft on 45 mm and more, establish a quencher of tortional fluctuations so that the arrow was combined with a ledge on a flange (see rice. Combination of an arrow with a ledge on a flange on models where the axis of a bolt is displaced on 45 mm and more, concerning a driveshaft axis).
5. Install the new rubber coupling on the driveshaft, at the same time the party with an inscription has to be directed to the driveshaft. Insert bolts of fastening of the coupling, screw on them nuts and tighten them the required moment.
6. Install the driveshaft.

BACK COUPLING

PERFORMANCE ORDER
2. Unscrew nuts, then take bolts and remove the elastic coupling from the driveshaft.
3. Install the new elastic coupling on the driveshaft, insert bolts of fastening and screw new nuts on them and tighten them the required moment.
4. Install the driveshaft.
