What are daisies on a VAZ 2114 and how to change them

Daisies, or scientifically called silent blocks, are a car part that is located on the front suspension arm and consists of two components (an external and an internal element). Wear of this part involves delamination of the rubber material due to use. So, replacing silent blocks on a VAZ-2114 car is a fairly simple process and even a novice motorist can cope with it.

Video about replacing the silent blocks of the front arm on a front-wheel drive car of the VAZ family

The video material will tell you how to replace daisies on a car, and also tell you about the nuances and subtleties of the process.

Tools and materials

Tools you will need:

• Spanners (take a full set at once);
• Socket wrenches;
• Vise;
• Chisel;
• Hammer;
• Puller;
• Silent blocks.

There are several important nuances:

1. to take silent blocks from repair kits intended for models 2108-2112 . You will simply waste your money because they are not suitable for the fourteenth VAZ model.

1. The easiest way to purchase a puller is at auto parts stores. But you can ask your friends for it.

1. You can make a device for pressing in a new silent block yourself. To do this you will need a 170mm M12 bolt, a bushing, a washer and a high nut. But if you have the opportunity to use a full-fledged, real tool, do just that.

Rack

This is one of the main elements of the front suspension of the VAZ-2114. The strut combines a spring and a hydraulic shock absorber. Thanks to this part, the suspension absorbs and absorbs bumps in the road. To allow the element to rotate (at the same angle as the front wheels), a support bearing is provided on top. The stand itself is mounted on the body cups in the engine compartment. Unlike the rear, it accounts for 80 percent of all cargo. After all, all the important nodes and nodes are concentrated ahead. engine, gearbox and attachments.

Front arm

Replace the silent blocks on the front suspension arm of a VAZ 2114 with your own hands. To do this, try to strictly adhere to the instructions we offer.

1. Place the car on the inspection hole.
2. Remove the engine protection, if equipped.
3. Unscrew the bolt nuts from the front arms.
4. Using a 17 key, remove the fasteners of the front stabilizer strut, which secures it with the lever.
5. Knock out the bolt.
6. Loosen the wheel bolts, jack up the car and remove the wheels.
7. Use a 24mm wrench to remove the brace nut. To avoid having to exert enormous force, first clean the fastener with a wire brush and treat it with WD40. This should help completely unscrew this nut.
8. Then remove the two ball joint bolts from the steering knuckle to remove the arm.
9. Problems often arise with this nut. It is rarely possible to remove it easily. A good way out of the situation is to remove the lever with a crab and a stretcher. To do this, slightly loosen the extension nut near the crab and remove the three bolts securing the crab and the body. Now remove the entire assembly and, in a more comfortable position, begin to unscrew the problematic nut. The most extreme method is heating or using a chisel.
10. You managed to remove the lever. First of all, replace the silent block of the extension. Dismantling the old element is carried out using the most ordinary chisel. Be sure to clean the lugs and take a new suitable silent block.
11. It's up to the vice. The silent blocks are pressed one by one into your lever. It is usually not possible to seat the element completely, so the lever should be placed on a flat floor or a sturdy table. The silent block must be installed using a hammer. A few accurate and fairly strong blows should be enough.
12. Using the method without using a vice is very risky. Such measures are resorted to either by self-confident specialists or by those who do not mind experimenting with their car.
13. Now we change it on the front lever. The first priority is to get rid of the old silent block. If it was completely broken, you just need to remove the bushing and remove the remaining rubber elements of the silent block from the eyes.
14. If this method is not relevant, the silent tape will have to be pressed out. You already have a puller.
15. The new element is pre-treated with water diluted with any soap, dish gel or simple liquid soap.
16. Use the press-in tool to place the new part in its rightful place.
17. The fastening bolts should be tightened gradually. The silent block can be twisted at the same time, so try to hold it with a screwdriver.
18. Alas, the process of replacing silent blocks on the front lever is much more complicated than in the case of a stretcher.

Required tools:

• vice;
• new silent blocks VAZ 2109;
• liquid soap (can be replaced with detergent or soapy water)
• source of fire (a gas burner is suitable);
• a piece of pipe whose diameter allows free entry of the silent block;
• standard set of keys;
• chisel and hammer;
• WD-40 penetrating fluid.

To work, place the car on a viewing hole or lift.

To replace the silent blocks of a VAZ 2109, as for other work, disassembly and dismantling are required.

1. Unscrew the lower lever. To do this, use a socket with an extension to remove the extension nut, as well as the fixation nut to the body. Then remove the stabilizer link and 2 ball joint bolts. To make it easier to work with stuck and rusted nuts, you need to warm up the connection or use a penetrating liquid. If these methods do not help, try unscrewing the crab, clamp it in a vice, and try again.

1. Secure the removed lever in a vice and use a lamp or torch to burn out the old silent block from its seat. If this option is not possible, you will have to press it out with a special puller or vice, but this will take more time.

1. After the silent block has burned out slightly, it can be easily removed with a screwdriver or chisel.

1. Remove dirt, dust and rust from the place where the new silent block will be installed. Blow it out thoroughly.

Rear suspension

Sometimes it is also necessary to replace the silent blocks on the rear suspension of a VAZ 2114 car. They are not as susceptible to wear as in the case of the front control arms, but the fact remains.

The sequence of your work in this situation will be as follows:

1. If there is no lift, slightly loosen the bolts on the wheels, install a jack, raise the car and completely remove the wheel.
2. It is advisable to place some supports under the beam. Both simple bricks and a second jack will do. It all depends on what you have at your disposal.
3. Now you need to remove the bolts that are attached to the shock absorber and the car body.
4. Proceed carefully to avoid damaging the threads.
5. The bolts are knocked out, the beam moves down or slightly back. This will allow you to get to the desired silent blocks.
6. They are dismantled with a puller.
7. New suspension elements are installed in a similar way to the silent blocks of the front control arms. To help them sit in their nests better, use a soapy solution.
8. Reassemble the entire disassembled structure in reverse order.
9. During the disassembly and assembly process, pay attention to the remaining components to which you gain full or partial access.
10. As practice shows, performing certain repairs allows you to study the condition of related components, assemblies and parts of the car, identify emerging problems in a timely manner and eliminate these breakdowns or what may lead to this.

How to replace the silent block of the rear beam of VAZ cars

Hello dear readers of the blog RtiIvaz.ru. Today I want to talk about the silent block of the rear beam - the ease of replacement on VAZ cars when doing DIY repairs.

Silent blocks and various suspension parts from the factory are quite reliable and last a long time. Typically, their longevity depends on how you operate and maintain the car and usually last for 80-90 thousand kilometers. Salentblock find out what it is here.

Let's first look at the signs of wear on the silent blocks of the rear beam. When cornering, the car loses stability and uneven tire wear occurs. Or, when driving over potholes and bumps on the road, impacts appear on the body and an unpleasant creaking sound occurs in the rear of the car.

Unpleasant sounds when driving can also occur due to other malfunctions. Knocks can come from one place and be heard in another, especially as they move along they are heard in the rear of the body. Therefore, first you need a thorough diagnosis of the entire rear and front suspension: you will have to check the struts, bearings, supports, muffler, etc.

Having finally made sure that the rubber silent blocks are extremely worn out, we proceed to replacing them. Fortunately, compared to foreign cars, replacing the silent block of the rear suspension of VAZ “nine” or “ten” cars is distinguished by its simplicity and low cost.

To begin with, let’s buy rubber bushings “fungi”, that is, silent blocks for the rear beam in a car store. For VAZ 2108 cars; 2109; 21099 you need to purchase silent blocks with the VAZ design number 2108-2914054-10, and for VAZ 2110 cars; 2112; 2114; 2115 VAZ design number 2110-2914054 is prescribed.

It is difficult to distinguish these silent blocks of these cars from each other, because they are very similar, but different in outer diameter (see the difference in the photo). You will not be able to install silent blocks from the “nine” VAZ 2109 on the beam of the “tens” VAZ 2110, as they will dangle. But the rubber bushing from the “ten”, if you try, can be pressed into the “nine” beam.

It will be useful: Do-it-yourself modification of the frets of the grant: video instructions

Step-by-step replacement of rear beam silent blocks on VAZ 2108 vehicles; 2109; 21099; 2110; 2112; 2114; 2115:

• 1. Replacement of silent blocks should be carried out on an overpass, inspection pit or lift, installing the machine in a way accessible to you.
• 2. Remove the rear wheel so that it does not interfere.

• 3. On the left side, disconnect the rear brake pressure regulator rod from the beam (see photo number 1.) On the right side, remove the handbrake cable to the side (see photo number 2.)
• 4. Using a “19” wrench, unscrew the nut from the bolt securing the rear beam to the bracket (see number 3 in the photo)
• 5. We remove the fastening bolt with a hammer, and then knock it out with a wrench (see number 4 in the photo.)
• 6. Next, lift the car body with a jack and move the beam eye down
• 7. We insert a wooden block between the body and the beam
• 8. Using a hammer and a drift, knock out the rubber bushings of the rear beam
• 9. Having cleaned the seat from dirt and rust, generously lubricate it with a thick soap solution and also lubricate the rubber bushing itself
• 10. Using a tool, press in the bushing. If there is no device, then we hammer it in with a hammer, hitting the head of any suitable bolt inserted with a washer of larger diameter, but so that the washer fits tightly to the rubber
• 11. Then we pull out the wooden block
• 12. Using a jack, we lift the beam and put on our original fastening bolt, then we attach the nut
• 13. Having placed the rear wheel, lower the car
• 14. Open the trunk door, then sit down on the bumper and press the back of the car as far as possible with all our weight.
• 15. Tighten the silent block mounting bolts until they stop

Actually, the work itself doesn’t seem to be difficult if you have a puller. And if it is not there, what should you do then? Therefore, I am writing for those who repair a VAZ car with their own hands. There is no need to complicate the task if you don’t have a special remover. Listen to the advice of car mechanics: do not fool your head and knock out - hammer in the silent blocks on the beams with a hammer.

How to change silent blocks on a VAZ 2114

The need for such a procedure is indicated by the appearance of extraneous knocks. When the hinges of the front arms wear out, they can be heard in the area of ​​the front wheels, and if the silent blocks of the rear beam have become unusable, the noise can be heard in the rear of the car. In addition, the comfort of movement and controllability of the car decrease, and tire wear increases. If you delay replacement, you can wait for other suspension parts to fail.

The replacement procedure does not seem complicated, requiring special equipment and knowledge. If the driver knows how to hold a mechanic’s tool in his hands and knows the structure of his “iron” horse, he can safely get to work. Replacing the VAZ 2114 silent blocks is carried out on a lift, inspection hole or overpass, but it can also be done on the floor of a regular platform. For insurance, it is advisable to have reliable stands under the car body to prevent falling.

How to check silent blocks yourself?

If the driver does not have sufficient driving experience, it is better to diagnose any car mechanisms at a bus station. If you have sufficient driving experience, and therefore minor repairs, you can inspect the silent blocks yourself. To do this, you need to drive into the pit and assess the condition of the parts.

Silent block with signs of wear

An untimely replaced silent block leads to the following consequences:

• Wheel alignment violation;
• Uneven tire wear;
• Knock in the front suspension.

These are signs that should prompt the idea of ​​replacing silent blocks.

If during inspection cracks or tears were found on the rubber joint liner, it should be replaced. The replacement can be done at home - specialized tools or special skills are not required.

Let's take a closer look at the algorithm for replacing the silent blocks of the front levers of VAZ cars.

Where to begin

Before you start replacing the VAZ 2114 silent blocks, you need to take care of purchasing new parts. Pay attention to the quality of the products you purchase, remember the proverb that the miser pays twice. This must be done so that after a couple of thousand kilometers you do not have to change them again. This, unfortunately, happens often. To work, in addition to a set of wrenches, you will need a hammer, a sharp, thin chisel, and WD 40 fluid. It is also advisable to have a vice and a special puller for removing and installing new hinges.

There may be problems with this, since you will have to look for it from familiar drivers, buy it in retail chains, or make it yourself. To do this, you need to find a bolt with an M12 thread approximately 180-200 mm long. The nut should be of increased length; this will allow you to use the puller for a long time without fear of damaging the thread. You will also need a bushing from a piece of pipe 60 mm long. Its internal diameter should be 38 mm, as well as a wide and thick metal washer.

If everything you need is prepared, and the desire to do the work yourself has not disappeared, let’s look at how to replace the silent blocks of the front arms of a VAZ 2114. First of all, unscrew the nuts on the bolts securing the front arms to the body. Use a thin punch to knock out and remove the bolts from the bracket. After this, to carry out the replacement, you need to lift the car with a car jack. Place stands under the body, after which you can remove the wheels.

Replacing the silent blocks of the upper arm

Replacing silent blocks on the front arms of a VAZ 2110

Replacing them involves the following steps:

• Raise the car on a jack and secure it.
• Remove the front wheel.
• Remove the upper arm. However, before doing this, you need to carefully look to see if the silent blocks in the lever are slipping. They must be stationary.

Replacing the silent blocks of the front levers of a VAZ 2110

To make it easier to remove the upper arm, you need to knock out the upper support. To do this, unscrew the support nut.

Note: it is quite difficult to unscrew, but without this the support will remain in place.

You need to turn the wheel by hitting the bipod with a hammer. Only after this the support will pop out.

Replacing silent blocks of front levers on a VAZ 2110

Then you should unscrew the lever bolt located on top.

Note: It is quite long, so unscrewing it may take a long time.

• This bolt needs to be pulled out, which will allow you to remove the machine arm.
• You can start replacing them.

Note: the problem may be not only in the silent blocks, but also in the lever. To check if it is working properly, you need to put the lever bolt in place and see if there is a lot of axial play.

If it is large, then the problem with silent blocks may occur again. Therefore, before inserting a new one, you need to repair the lever.

Replacing silent blocks on the front beam of a VAZ 2110

• You can remove the silent blocks using a hammer or chisel. In fact, they fall out almost after the first hit. The main thing is not to damage the car.
• Now you need to insert the new silent block where the old one was. You need to press it in properly so that it does not dangle. You can press it in easily: one bushing fits the size of the silent block skirt, the other is a little larger. By pressing with the smaller bushing, it easily fits into the lever.

Repair of axial play

There are two repair options:

1. Replace the entire pole completely. However, not only is it very expensive, but its quality is not the best.
2. You can tighten two washers on the sides so that the bolt cannot dangle.

Note: screwing in these washers may result in the silent blocks not fitting into the lever, so they will need to be shortened slightly using a hacksaw. This can significantly reduce the service life of silent blocks.

Replacing the lower arm silent block

The lower silent blocks are a little more difficult to replace:

1. First you need to remove the stabilizer, which will allow you to move the lever left and right.
2. Now you need to unscrew all the nuts that hold the silent block stationary.
3. You need to remove the lower control arm silent blocks. To do this, you need to repeat all the steps as with the silent blocks of the upper arm.
4. Now you can start pressing in new silent blocks.

Note: they can only be fixed when the vehicle is loaded. After all, if you fix them on a suspended suspension, they may soon fail.

High-quality photos, a corresponding video or instructions will help everyone complete the work of replacing the front silent block with their own hands. However, you need to be extremely careful, because you can do a lot of damage to your car. This will result in you having to pay in

How to make a replacement

The engine crankcase protection will interfere with the work, so it needs to be removed. Now you can handle the threaded connections of the parts being removed with a “wedge”. It will take 10-15 minutes for the fluid to react, during which time you can check the condition of the rubber covers of the CV joints, ball joints, and steering rods. Further, the procedure for removal and installation will be approximately as follows:

1. Using a 24mm spanner, try to unscrew the nuts on the braces. You shouldn’t expect that everything will go easily. Almost always you have to use the auxiliary lever. Some craftsmen act differently; they remove the lever along with the “crab”. You will need to unscrew the three bolts securing it to the body;
2. After this, unscrew the two bolts and remove the lever along with the ball joint;
3. With the lever removed, it is much more convenient to continue unscrewing the nuts. In some cases they have to be cut with a chisel;
4. First of all, the joints of the extensions are changed. This is not difficult to do. Old ones are almost always easily removed from their places. If they do not give in, help with a hammer and chisel;
5. It is best to install new silent blocks for the VAZ 2114 in a vice, having previously cleaned the installation site and the silent block with soapy water.

You can try to install them by hitting them with a heavy hammer, but there is a danger of damaging the silent blocks. Next, you can change the silent blocks of the VAZ 2114 lever.

Replacing the VAZ 2114 silent blocks on the lever is done with a puller. If the car has been used for quite a long period without replacing the hinges, it will be difficult to remove them even with a puller. In this case, the easiest way is to burn out the rubber of the hinge, and then knock out their clips with a chisel and hammer. The seats are cleaned, treated with a soap solution, and only after that do they begin to install new ones.

There is no need to count on speed and ease; during installation, attention is concentrated, first of all, on not damaging and correctly installing the silent block on the VAZ 2114. The lever with the installed silent blocks is put in place. There is no need to tighten the nuts completely; this is done after installing the wheels.

Do-it-yourself replacement of VAZ 2110 daisies, video instructions

We have a VAZ 2110 car under repair, on which the daisies and silent blocks need to be replaced. We will show you how to do this repair yourself, in the form of photo and video instructions.

Before starting work, clean the threads from dirt and dust, soak them in Wd40. Remove the wheel, use a 24mm wrench to unscrew the nut:

Using keys 17, unscrew the stabilizer:

Using a 19mm wrench, unscrew the fastenings of the lever to the body:

Using a 17mm socket, unscrew the two ball joint bolts:

The lever can be removed, we fix it in a vice, insert a bolt so that it does not go down and take out the daisies, they came out without much effort. We knock down the clip with a chisel and hammer:

We knock out from both sides. Using sandpaper, we lightly remove rust from the seats of the daisies and clips. We insert the daisies and press them in using a medium-force hammer blow.

To press out the silent block, use a finger from the steering rod, on the other hand, insert a mandrel of a suitable size into a vice:

When pressing in a new silent block at home, it is recommended to remove a small chamfer on the emery; this will not affect its further operation in any way, but will simplify the pressing task.

Then we lubricate its body and seat with soap to make entry easier. Now it can be pressed in using a regular vice:

At the same time, we try to center it so that the silent block runs smoothly. We bring it to half, then reinsert the tie rod pin and the mandrel and make the final fixation. We carry out assembly in reverse order. Fully tighten all nuts with the machine lowered.

A few more tips

It will also be useful for owners of cars of this model to know how to replace the silent blocks of the rear beam on a VAZ 2114. These rear suspension parts are more durable, but also need to be replaced after a certain period. It is best to position the car above the inspection hole, this will make it most convenient to perform the replacement. To perform the replacement, the beam must be moved down and slightly back.

To do this, they also lift the car with a jack, place it on a stand and dismantle the beam. It needs to be supported with a stand or a second jack. Worn silent blocks are removed and new ones are installed using a puller, but in some cases, the intervention of “brute” force and other auxiliary tools may be necessary. The installation of new VAZ 2114 parts is preceded by cleaning the eyes from rust and oxides, as well as treating them together with the hinge with soapy water.

Silent blocks VAZ 2107

The Internet often discusses the features of replacing the suspension mufflers of the VAZ 2107 and other cars of the domestic and foreign automobile industry. The problem is really urgent and is associated with the poor quality of our roads. Since the silent block is one of the important elements of the vehicle suspension design, special attention should be paid to its selection and replacement.

The same puller is used to remove and install silent blocks. You only need to change the position of the parts depending on what operation is expected (press or squeeze).

The process of replacing front suspension daisies on a VAZ-2114

Silent blocks of front levers, popularly called “daisies”

Before proceeding directly to the process of replacing daisies, it is necessary to disassemble the lever structure. We will not disassemble the structure of the entire suspension, but simply indicate the location of the silent blocks.

In the picture below, at number 23 , there are daisies that need to be replaced .

Now that the location is clear, you can proceed directly to the process itself:

The first step is to dismantle the lower engine crankcase protection.

Removing the crankcase protection

Unscrew the extension bracket

Removing the brace with bracket

Part selection

New daisy in the lever

When the replacement process is considered, we proceed directly to the selection of the part. So, in addition to the original part, there are a number of substitutes that can be installed on a car.

Some manufacturers offer a part whose quality is much better than the standard factory spare part.

Original

2108-2904046 – original catalog number of the silent block manufactured by AvtoVAZ. This part is of average quality, but is still recommended by the manufacturer for installation on a car. The average cost is 500 rubles.

In addition to the silent block itself, there are a number of consumables:

• 2108-2904045 – thrust washer for securing the silent block.
• 2108-2904225 – silent block adjusting washer.

These two parts can be included with the spare part, but as practice shows, they must be purchased separately.

Analogues of silent blocks

In addition to the original part, there is a list of analogues that can be installed on the VAZ-2114.

Chamomile produced by Stellox

Let's consider which spare parts are suitable from which manufacturers:

conclusions

Replacing daisies on a VAZ-2114 car is a fairly simple and not complicated process that every motorist can handle. Of course, if the operation seems too difficult, it is recommended to contact a car service, but you should not waste money and time when you can do everything yourself.

Particular attention should be paid to the process of selecting spare parts, which are not always of high quality.

What is a silent block?

A silent block is a small part made of polyurethane or rubber; the kit includes two metal bushings. In other words, a silent block is a rubber-metal hinge that performs connecting and protective functions. It is used to complete parts of the front and rear suspension and gearbox. And if the rear silent blocks of a VAZ 2114 are replaced, then new ones of the appropriate brand and size of the product are purchased. Under no circumstances should you make any substitutions; every millimeter is important in the configuration of the machine.

Silent block VAZ

What configurations are recommended to buy to replace daisies?

When the VAZ 2114 is factory equipped, a product is installed that is entered into the company catalog under the number 108-290-40-46. Speaking about the quality of the standard kit, I want to wish for the best, but this product is native to the silent block seat, therefore it has a number of advantages. If you purchase a new set in a salon, you should expect an amount of 500 rubles.

Silent block VAZ 2114

In addition to silent blocks or daisies, you will also need to purchase all the necessary fasteners, as well as washers to adjust the product in its seat.

Why is the rear silent blocks of a VAZ 2114 being replaced?

It is very easy to suspect a malfunction in a car if you listen to its movement, traction, and maneuverability. And by comparison, observation, testing, you can understand that a planned replacement of the rear silent blocks on the VAZ 2114 is necessary. How to determine this?

• The car has a mileage of 50,000-100,000 km. You can take a lower indicator if you often use aggressive driving, test the vehicle in difficult road conditions, when only bumps and holes “disfigure” the city asphalt surface. And if you are an off-road enthusiast, then it is recommended to regularly check the condition of small car parts to prevent them from becoming deformed, cracking or drying out.
• Sluggish steering, which is unpleasant especially when making sharp turns or covering a long route. It seems that the steering has a life of its own and does not always respond sensitively to the driver’s demands. And if such behavior of the vehicle is noticed, then one of the options is to replace the rear silent blocks of the VAZ 2114. Most likely, the important rubber-metal hinge has worn out and does not perform its functionality properly.
• Upon visual inspection, you notice that the silent blocks are covered with cracks and seem to be very worn out. Of course, it is not always convenient to carry out diagnostics in your garage. Firstly, there is no hole, there is no overpass nearby for inspection. Secondly, you have no idea what it is - a silent block. And in order to examine it, you need to crawl under the car, clean the part from dust and dirt, and pull off some pipes and underwater hoses with a jack. But without being afraid of difficulties, you can overcome everything.
• You notice uneven wear on the tread pattern. Perhaps the reason lies in the fact that it is important to urgently replace the rear silent blocks on the VAZ 2114 and carry out wheel alignment diagnostics. The fact is that silent blocks can tear, and accordingly the levers become slightly crooked, causing a disruption in maneuverability and balance in the car.
• Car skidding on corners has become more frequent. There are situations when the car simply abandons, it has difficulty making turns, and uncontrolled drifts are carried out not at the will of the driver. It is worth paying attention and sending the car for diagnostics or carefully inspecting it yourself.

Replacing silent blocks on a VAZ 2114
Thus, if the signs indicated above appear, then begin repairs immediately. If you hesitate, look for an opportunity, you will face even greater trouble - the mounting points for the hinges may collapse, and then you will have to invest even more money and change the suspension arm.

Replacement

To replace you will need:

• New rear silent blocks;
• A small wooden beam;
• A device for pressing in a silent block (you can do the job without it);
• Open-end wrenches;
• Socket wrenches;
• Spanners;
• Hammer.

Dismantling works

When everything is ready, you can start working.

1. Place the car on a level surface in the garage above a pit or overpass. Be sure to place wheel chocks and shoes under the wheels. All for your safety.
2. It is better to remove the rear wheel to make it easier to work.
3. But it is not at all necessary to remove the rear beam. Just complicate your work with unnecessary dismantling processes.
4. On the left side of the driver is the pressure regulator rod for the rear brakes. It will disturb you while you work, so we advise you to remove it. This is done by removing the locking bracket of the rod and the handbrake cable. You will remove the latter from the right side from the mount.
5. Unscrew the nut from the bolt with a 12mm wrench that holds the rear beam to the bracket. This may cause problems. Place a socket wrench on the driver to increase leverage on the fastener. Remove the bolt, lift the car with a jack and move the beam down. It will come out of the eyelet this way. Do not overdo it to avoid damaging the nearby brake hose. If you press too hard on the pry bar while moving the eye, you risk breaking the hose.
6. Take a pre-prepared wooden block and insert it between the body and the beam. This must be done so that the beam is below the eye.
7. Using a hammer and a drift (regular metal tubing will do), knock out the old worn bushings. By the way, if you come across such a concept as “fungi”, don’t worry. This is what car enthusiasts often call these bushings because of their external similarity.
8. Clean the seat from accumulated dirt and rust. Be sure to lubricate the areas with soapy water. Without it, it will be difficult to press in new silent blocks. Or use a simple dish detergent.

Replacing silent blocks of front levers on VAZ 2110-VAZ 2112

Welcome! Silent blocks of the front levers - thanks to them, when driving, the suspension of the car seems to play, they are needed only to soften the vibrations of the car and make them less pronounced, these silent blocks in the front suspension connect the metal levers together and if the silent blocks are removed, then you can assume that the suspension will begin to creak strongly from the friction of the levers fastened together and the suspension elements will no longer have mobility, thereby placing a large load on it while driving and the ride will become very uncomfortable.

Note! To replace these units, it is enough to have in your arsenal: A set of all kinds of wrenches, which will necessarily include wrenches and various kinds of socket heads with a knob for them, in addition to this, a hammer, a chisel and, if possible, stock up on a universal cup puller (You can do without it, but we still recommend that you use it) and, if possible, a vice or some kind of press instead, since you will never be able to complete the work without them!

Summary:

Where are the front control arm bushings located? Before looking for them, look for the levers themselves in the lower part of the car, for clarity, in the photo below, these levers of the front suspension of the car are indicated by red arrows, as you can see, in addition to the red arrows in the photo below, there are also blue arrows, they also indicate those places in which the silent blocks themselves are located, unfortunately they are not visible in the photo (we mean silent blocks) since they are pressed (stuck, one might say) into the inner part of the levers and therefore, in order to remove them, you will also have to remove both suspension levers from the car, oh We will explain to you how to do this as you read this article on replacement.

When do you need to change the silent blocks of the front control arms? You already understand where they are located, so the first thing to do is crawl under the bottom of the car and look for these silent blocks, they are made of rubber (They may also be made of polyurethane, but that doesn’t matter, by the way, polyurethane silent blocks are much better than rubber ones, but they also cost quite well ) and therefore pay your attention to this rubber part (or polyurethane), in no case should there be cracks, tears or other types of deformation on it, if everything is fine for you so far, then you can drive on and perform this check from time to time, but this is all a visual inspection, but the symptoms of how the car will behave when the silent blocks are deformed also need to be taken into account, firstly, the rubber on the wheel will begin to wear out unevenly (That is, one edge of the rubber has already worn out, and the other edge is still normal, for example), secondly, you will experience various kinds of knocking noises when driving in the suspension area and thirdly, although this is no longer a symptom, but most likely it will be attributed to the check, in general, when you crawl under the bottom of the car and start inspecting the silent blocks, shake them with your crayfish, shake the levers themselves and at the same time pay attention to the silent blocks themselves, they absolutely should not have any play, they should sit clearly in their place and not move.

How to replace the lever?

To do this, lift the front of the car (alternately on each side with a jack). Next, unscrew the ball joint securing nut and use a puller to remove the ball joint pin from the lever. Next, unscrew the tension rod tension nut. Disconnect the stabilizer bar from the arm. Next, unscrew the nut securing the suspension arm to the body. If it's acidic, use liquid key. At the next stage, you can safely remove the tension lever from the outside. The new part is installed in the reverse order.
