To prevent
oil from leoking through the
ioint
gop between the dust boot ond the joint
guord
os well os ony twisting of the boot during
the oction of the rood spring, or its domoge by
contoct with other cor ports,
it is importont to
observe its correct position
on the holf-oxle. lt

45o. For better occess, ploce
the clips fostening
the dust boot to the holf-oxle ond cover with
their screws on top. With the right-hond
boot,
screw in the clip screws from the front,
with
the left-hond boot the screw on the holf-oxle
from the reor ond on the cover from the front.
Connect the dust boot flonges with hollow
rivets using suitoble pliers.
lf riveting pliers
ore
not ovoiloble, bolt the flonges togethen instol-
ling odequotely dimensioned ploin
woshers
under the bolt heods ond nuts.
5.7 HALF.AXLE SHAFT
The thrust ring of the beoring (behind
the
shoft toper) is pressed
on the shoft. lf it is ne-
cessory to renew this ring, for exomple ofter
repeoted replocements
of the beoring (see
Chopter 5.1, porogrroph
4), press
it on so
thot
it is removed 76 to 78 mm from the edge
of the
toper behind the shoft

The most importont points
from the point
of
view of driving ore the
toe-in ond the comber
ongle, the odiustment of which is permitted
by
the oxle design.
Adiust first the comber
ond then the toe-in
since o chonged comber
offects the toe-in.
We refroin from describing in detoil ony
meosuring method in view
of the lorge number
of existing gouges.
Insteod,
we odvise you
to refer to
the procedures recommended
by the
monufocturers of the gouges.
The check lood con be formed by blocking the
wishbones with bors occording to
Fig. 6.1/5.
Press down the cor with the hond, insert
the
bors under the wishbones so
thot they
beor
ogoinst the oxle brocket, ond releose the cor
to
let the bors be clomped. lf
clomping of the
bors
does not toke ploce
(which con hoppen on on
older cor with weokened springs),
consider the
condition os if the bors were
clomped, i. e',
corresponding to the position of the
front oxle
ot check looding.
The words "ot
full lood" describe o vehicle
looded so thot the distonce of the rubber deod
stop from the bottom of the
lower wishbone
stop is 20 mm (see olso porogroph
18) ond the
comber ongle of the reor wheels is 1". Meosure
these volues on oll wheels (not
only one front
ond one reor wheel) ond distribute the
lood os
necessory.
Toe-in To odiust the toe-in, screw
the right-hond ond
left-hond steering rods
symmetricolly (o
chonge
up to 1 mm con be effected by
one rod) ot
check lood so thot the distonce between the
wheel rims (or
ocross them) behind the oxle
(A+o) is lorger by the toe-in volue (o)
thon the
distonce between the rims
in front of the oxle
(A). To verify steering symmetry (correct screw-
ing of steering rods during
toe-in odiusting),
check the wheel lock position ot the
20" lock
ongle of the neorside wheel -
for the respective
volues refer to Chopter 1.7.
Slocken the steering rod
nuts ond rotote the
steering rods using on
olligotor wrench (Fig.
6.1/6). In oddition to the correct inflotion
pressure
of the tyres, poy
ottention to
severol essentiol
points when checking the wheel
olignment:
o) Ploce thewheel in the stroight oheod trovel'
ling direction;
b) The
steering rod ond the trock rod
must
not
be stressed. The stress con be eliminoted by
letting the cor swing
up ond down in its
suspension under the pressure of
your
honds
(olternotely press down ond releose
the
wings)
c) Prepore the oxle os
shown in Fig.6.1/5;
d) lf
o speciol gouge with
o scole for wheel
lock ongle setting is ovoiloble, odiust
the cor'
rect length of steering rods in
occordonce with
the position
of wheels in
check lock positions.
You will find the respective volues
in Chopter
1.7 "Steering".

6. Slocken the nuts of the bottom wishbone
pins fostening the front oxle to the brocket on
the body until the woshers of the brockets ore
releosed. 7. Detoch the onti-roll bor brockets from
the
body ond disconnect the rubber broke hoses
from the front broke systems.
Before discon-
necting the hose, cleon thoroughly the hose
connector ond its surroundings to prevent
foreign motter from getting

Ports which con be dismontled witlrout re-
moving them from the cor ore the wheel hubs
and beorings, the broke mechonisms, steering
orms, shock obsorbers, ond the
onti-roll bor.
lf ony odditionol ports

remove the oxle from the cor ond dismontle it
on the stond.
Dismontling Wheel Hubs
ond Beorings
1. Dismontle the broke mechonism os per

Refer to the following chopters for
further
dismontling of the steering knuckle, the king
pin ond its socket, ond their repoirs.
Hoving removed the spring instoller,lift owoy
the spring ond remove
the wishbones.
5. When removing the upper wishbone, mork
the thickness of the open (horseshoe) woshers
irrserted between the brocket ond oxle body on
tlre individuol brockets. The
woshers ore 3
mm
onct 1 mm thick so thot if there ore, for exomple,

thickness of 5 mm on the brocket. Also toke
into occount the likely necessity of o correction
of the wosher thickness -
see Chopter 6.2, poro-
groph 1. When reinstolling the upPer wishbone, fit
wo;hers of the morked down thickness to sim'
plify the cdjustnrent of the wheel comber.
