Replacing silent blocks on the wishbone of the suspension on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

Simple photo and video instructions on how to independently replace silent blocks on the front suspension arm on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 cars.

Silent blocks need to be changed if they lose elasticity, if the rubber has been squeezed out of its seat, or if they rotate in the lever.

To perform replacement work, you need a universal cup puller.

Levers

At the front, the VAZ- 2114 uses independent suspension on levers. These elements ensure the transmission and absorption of shocks that occur when the car falls onto an uneven surface. The front suspension brackets of the VAZ-2114 are made of high-strength steel XK-60, so they can easily withstand heavy loads. The element is attached with one part to the ball joint, and the other. to the body on the bracket. Leverages do not have a specific resource. Some don't change them for decades. Therefore, you need to focus on signs. Main symptom. peeling of rubber on a metal bushing.

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.

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.

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.

Detailed suspension repair diagram

So, let's look at a brief diagram of how to disassemble the suspension of a VAZ car.2114:

This way the entire suspension unit can be replaced. If done in time, complete disassembly of the VAZ-2114 suspension will take about 8-12 hours, if there are no difficulties. Some “Kulibins” sped up the process, and if the removable suspension is not installed, it will be easier. It should be noted that this method is dangerous and contrary to safety regulations, especially if the motorist has never performed this process. Let's quickly see how the accelerated process works:

Tuning

Suspension tuning for VAZ-2114

Many car enthusiasts, in order to ensure increased stability and maneuverability of the car, install the option of a sports suspension both at the rear and at the front.

It fits perfectly into the seat and attaches to the body without requiring modifications. The sports suspension has greater stability and maneuverability, and can withstand a load on the suspension that is 2 times greater than the standard one. The cost of this option is about 30-40 thousand rubles.

Tuning the suspension installed on a car

Replacing rubber joints on the rear suspension

More on how things are changing. First, let's look at how to replace the rear silent blocks of a VAZ-2109. To perform the operation you will need:

• Inspection hole;
• Jacks;
• Tools (key sets, hammer, attachments);
• Bench vice;
• Mount;
• Spring ties;
• Soap solution;
• Pullers for rubber joints;

First, the silent blocks of the rear beam of the VAZ-2109 are replaced. For this:

1. We put the car in a pit, jack up the rear on one side, remove the wheel;
2. Unscrew the nut of the bolt securing the beam to the body, remove the bolt;
3. Using a pry bar, we press the beam down to remove it from the bracket, fix it in this position (by installing a wooden spacer between the beam and the body);
4. Using a hammer, carefully knock out the worn hinge;
5. Using a device (a long bolt with a nut, two wide washers and a piece of pipe), we press in a new element, having previously generously lubricated the seat and the hinge itself with soapy water;
6. We install the beam into the bracket and fix it with a fastening bolt;

After this, the silent blocks of the VAZ-2109 rear pillar are replaced:

1. Unscrew the fastening of the rack to the body (top) and beam (bottom);
2. We press the beam down so that the stand goes down and the spring relaxes;
3. Remove the stand;
4. Using a silent block remover, remove the hinge from the rack body (bottom);
5. We press in a new silent block using a vice;
6. We tighten the springs with ties, then put the stand in place and secure it;
7. Remove the ties;

Similar operations are carried out on the other side of the rear of the car. After assembly, you should check the tightness of all fasteners that have become loose. This should be done again after a couple of days of using the car.

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

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.

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

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 daisies on a VAZ 2114: watch the video, study the instructions

Are you planning to implement a solution to the question of how to change daisies on a VAZ 2114, you’ve already watched the video, now are you preparing a sequential instruction for yourself? Then you can pay attention to the following workflow structure.

The machine is installed on a lift or driven onto an overpass to provide access to the front suspension, the elements of which will be used for repair work. Usually, the approach to the silent block is also made difficult by the crankcase protection, which must first be dismantled.

Removing the crankcase protection Next, we will work with the fasteners, but due to the fact that the car has mileage and has been used in different weather conditions, a situation may arise that all the nuts have become sour, or the threads are covered with a layer of dirt. What to do? Take a rag or a wire brush with stiff bristles and clean all existing fasteners. If some nut does not give in, then you should use special lubricant WD 40. And start unscrewing the suspension nuts again.

Working with fasteners

• First, we unscrew the bolts on the wheels, put the car on a jack and stoppers, and then think about how to change the daisies on a VAZ 2114, having previously pressed them out.
• We continue to work with the support and its dismantling. Sometimes it can be difficult to remove the support from the steering knuckle.

  Removing the nut Using a chisel, we begin to press out the silent block itself. Sometimes even fire is used, but in this situation you need to be very careful.

Front arm

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:

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:

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.

POLYURETHANE OR RUBBER BUSHING BLOCKS, WHICH IS BETTER?

If the car has rubber bushings and silent blocks in the suspension, which can be replaced with polyurethane parts, then you will only improve the characteristics of the suspension and its operation. Polyurethane silent blocks will last at least 5 times longer than rubber parts.

Polyurethane silent blocks improve the car's behavior on the road, reducing unwanted deformations in the suspension and eliminating the “squeezing” effect typical of rubber parts. This means that the suspension always operates in the mode intended by the designers.

If you want to improve handling, polyurethane silent blocks are what you need. If you calmly move from one point to another, then choose ordinary silent blocks.

Description

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.
