1. If you found out that the rack is faulty (traces of leak of working liquid on its surface, breakage or sag of a spring, loss of efficiency of clearing of fluctuations), it should be sorted and repaired. Racks in itself are not subject to repair and at an exit from costing to the shock-absorber them it is necessary to change, but to replace springs, and components having relation to them, it is necessary in pairs (on both sides of the car).
2. Remove a rack (address the Section Removal and installation of a forward support), place it on a workbench and clamp in a vice. Remove all dirt from its surface.

4. Holding a shock-absorber rod from a provorachivaniye with a key a hexagon, turn off a nut of fastening of a rod. |
5. Remove the top support with the basic bearing, then a plate springs, a spring, a cover and a chipper.
6. If you are going to establish a new spring, accurately remove a stripper from an old spring. If you are going to establish an old spring, to delete a stripper there is no need.
7. After you completely sorted a rack, attentively examine all its components. The basic bearing has to rotate freely. At detection of wear tracks and damages any the component them should be replaced.
8. Examine a surface of the rack. On it there should not be traces of working liquid. Examine a shock-absorber rod surface. On it there should not be traces of corrosion and damages. Put a rack vertically and check its working capacity, feats a shock-absorber rod at first from an emphasis against the stop, then the short movements on 50-100 mm. In both cases movement of a rod has to be uniform. At emergence of breakthroughs or jammings, and also at any other signs of malfunction the rack should be replaced.
