4. In a motor compartment unscrew nuts of fastening of the top part of a forward rack, then, being careful, take a rack from under a wing arch.

Repair

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Clear a rack of a forward suspension bracket of pollution and fix it in a vice with soft sponges.

3. Remove an assembly plate and the top support of the shock-absorber from a rack.
4. Remove the rubber buffer from a rod of the shock-absorber, then release fastening and remove a dustproof cover from the shock-absorber.
5. Check the shock-absorber for signs of leak of depreciation liquid. Check on all length a shock-absorber rod for lack of pointed corrosion. Check the shock-absorber case for lack of mechanical damages. Install the shock-absorber in vertical position and check its work, moving a shock-absorber rod at full capacity. Also check operation of the shock-absorber, moving a shock-absorber rod up and down on distance of 50 - 100 mm. In all cases the rod of the shock-absorber has to move smoothly with a notable resistance. If the rod of the shock-absorber moves with breakthroughs or there are mechanical damages, the shock-absorber is subject to replacement.
6. Install a dustproof cover on the shock-absorber and reliably fix it.
7. Install the rubber buffer and the top support on a shock-absorber rod.
8. Establish the top assembly plate and a washer and screw a new nut on a shock-absorber rod. Having recorded a shock-absorber rod from a provorachivaniye, tighten a nut of fastening of an assembly plate the required moment.
