Advice. When adjusting the angle of the longitudinal inclination of the axis of rotation in the service center, the longitudinal extension will be removed again, so it is better to replace the extension in the same place, simultaneously with the adjustment.
To perform the work, an inspection ditch or overpass is required.
Removing
To minimize caster misalignment when installing the old caster brace, count and record the number of shims located at the rear and front ends of the brace.
1. Remove the extension bracket (see «Stretch mount bracket - removal and installation»).
2. Holding the stretch from stitching with a 24 mm open-end wrench, with a second wrench of the same size with a long knob, unscrew the nut securing the front end of the longitudinal brace to the transverse lever.
3. We remove the thrust nut from the brace, remove the rear end of the brace from the rubber-metal tournament of the transverse lever and remove the shims from the brace.
Installation
We install the longitudinal stretching in the reverse order.
Warning! When installing the adjusting washer, it is necessary that the chamfer on its inner edge faces the extension.
Recommendation. After replacing the longitudinal brace, it is necessary to check the alignment of the front wheels at a service center.
