Spring – shock absorber assembly
DISMOUNTING SPRING-SHO CK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY OF F THE VEHICLE
Loosen the front wheel attachment screws.
Lift the vehicle by means of a two-column
elevator. Dismo unt :
- the wheel;
-t he st eeri ng knuc kle attachment
screws (1) to the shock a bsorber leg;
- the two upper attachment screws (2 )
of the shock absorber on the carriage body.
Take out the spring – shock a bsorber
assembly, by pressing on the l ower arm, in
order to avoid the shock absorber getting in
contact with the transmission bellows.
SPRING DETACHMENT FROM SHOCK ABSORBER
Place t he shoc k absorbe r on t he shoc k
absorber support (4), of the base plate (3 ) of
the SU S 600 device.
Place the compression plate (7) on the filtering
block and position the rods grips (8) on the spring
lower last but one coil. Com p re ss t he sp ri ng by a l t e rna t i ve l y
tightening the nuts (9) till release it from the lower
plate of t he shock absorber.
Dismount the upper attachment nut of the
s hock absorbe r by means of the SUS 601
combined wrench.
Take out the spring
Place the spring on the SUS 600 device shaft
(2).
Place on the shaft the lock bushing (6), the spacer (5), and tighten the crank ( 1) to the
required moment till the lock bushing (6) comes into contact with the filtering block of the shock
absorber. Loosen alternatively t he nuts (9) and take out the plate (7) and the rods grips (8).
Release the spring by means of the crank (1) and detach from the shaft (2), the filtering block
of the shock absorber, the upper plate, a nd the spring.

Power train support
Attach a parts support under t he power
train support and dismount: - connection screw anti-roll connecting
rod- steering box crossbar support a nd tilt
over the anti-roll connecting rod downward.
- clamps attachment of the high pressure
duct of the power-assisted steering ( on the
right side); - clamps attachment of the low pressure
duct of the power-assisted steering (on t he left
side);
- attachment screws of the bellows-bearing
GI joint assembly, left tra nsmission on the
gearbox; - lower attachment of the cooling radiator,
on both sides;
-lower a ttachment scre ws of the front
s hock absorbers, both on left and right side;
- steering knuckle arms;
- left transmission from the gearbox;
-r ight transmission from the gearbox.
Carefully lower the parts support towards
ground. Dismount the attachme nt screws of the power
train support to the longitudinal girders, both at
front part as well at rear part.

Collision diagnosis
During the vehicle exploitation, the carriage body may suffer different distortions, that lead
many times to the wheels setting angles modification, body elements breakage, vibrations or even
mechanical parts wear.
In these conditions, before performing the vehicle body reparation, some checking is necessary:
Visual checking - consisting in the examinatio n of the mechanical elements attachments and
of the distortions occurring in the vehicle damaged areas.
Checking with the bar (control gauge) – consisting in comparing the measurements done
in symmet ric points.
The geometry checking of the rolling transmissions – this checking is the only one enabling to
find out if the body damage was not affecting the vehicle road behavior.
IMPORTANT :
This checking must be not ignored, except some border-line cases, the checking of
the rolling transmissions leading t o the identification of t he distortions occurred further
to an accident.
