2D – 20IREAR SUSPENSION
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
REAR SUSPENSION
The rear suspension is fully independent and consists of
a crossmember with four parallel links, two trailing links,
two strut assemblies with coil springs and insulators, and
two knuckles containing the hub and bearing assemblies.
The strut assemblies support the weight of the vehicle us-
ing coil springs positioned around the strut dampeners.The coil springs are seated on insulators attached to the
upper mount and the lower spring seat of the strut assem-
bly. The parallel links and the trailing link bracket have rub-
ber isolator bushings at each end and are attached to the
crossmember and the knuckle. The rear parallel link is at-
tached to the crossmember through adjustment cams that
are used to adjust rear toe. The trailing links are attached
to the body, through the trailing link bracket, and the bot-
tom of the knuckle. A forged knuckle bolts to each strut as-
sembly. Lateral movement of the knuckle is controlled by
the parallel links. Fore and aft movement of the knuckle is
controlled by the trailing link.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
ON–VEHICLE SERVICE
WHEEL
Removal Procedure
1. Loosen the wheel bolts.
2. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
3. Remove the wheel bolts.
Notice : Never use heat to loosen a tight wheel. It can
shorten the life of the wheel, the wheel nuts and the wheel
bearings. Excessive force, such as hammering the wheel
or tire, can also cause damage and is not recommended.
Slight tapping of the wheel sidewall with one’s hand or with
a rubber mallet is acceptable.
4. Remove the wheel.
Difficulty in removing the wheels from the vehicle can be
due to foreign material or to a tight fit between the wheel
centerhole and the hub or the rotor. These wheels can be
removed by
5. Retightening the wheel bolts on the affected wheel
and then loosening the wheel bolts by two turns.
6. Lowering the vehicle and rocking it from side to side
as hard as possible, using one or more person’s
body weight to loosen the wheel.
7. Raising the vehicle and removing the wheel.
CAUTION : Do not allow the penetrating oil to get on
the vertical surfaces between the wheel and the drum
(or rotor) because penetrating oil in this area could
cause the wheel to work loose as the vehicle is driven,
resulting in loss of control and an injury accident.
Penetrating oil is not effective in removing tight wheels. If
it is used, however, apply it sparingly and only to the
wheel’s centerhole area.
Installation Procedure
Notice : Before installing the wheels, remove any buildup
of corrosion on the wheel mounting surface and the brake
drum or the rotor mounting surface by scraping and brush-
ing them with a wire brush. Installing the wheels without
good metal–to–metal contact at the mounting surfaces
can cause the wheel nuts to loosen, which can later allow
a wheel to come off while the vehicle is moving. Wheel
bolts must be tightened in sequence and to the proper
torque to avoid bending the wheel, the brake drum or the
rotor.
1. Mount the wheel.
2. Install the wheel bolts in the sequence shown. Do
not tighten the wheel bolts.
3. Lower the vehicle.
Tighten
Tighten the wheel bolts to 100 NSm (74 lb–ft).

DIAGNOSIS
LINING INSPECTION
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Remove the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E,
Tires and Wheels.
3. Visually check the linings for minimum thickness
and wear.
4. Measure the thickness.
Important : The minimum thickness of the inner or the
outer pad is 7 mm (0.28 inch).
5. Install the brake pads in axle sets only.
6. Install the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
7. Lower the vehicle.ROTOR INSPECTION
Thickness variation can be checked by measuring the
thickness of the rotor at four or more points around the cir-
cumference of the rotor. All measurements must be made
at the same distance in from the edge of the rotor.
A rotor that varies by more than 0.01 mm (0.0004 inch) can
cause pedal pulsations and/or front end vibration during
brake applications. A rotor that does not meet these speci-
fications should be refinished to specifications or re-
placed.

4D – 2IFRONT DISC BRAKES

During manufacturing, the brake rotor and the tolerances
of the braking surface regarding flatness, thickness varia-
tion, and lateral runout are held very close. The mainte-
nance of close tolerances on the shape of the braking sur-
faces is necessary to prevent brake roughness.
In addition to these tolerances, the surface finish must be
held to a specified range. The control of the braking sur-
face finish is necessary to avoid pulls and erratic perfor-
mance and to extend lining life.
Using a commercially available dial indicator, check lateral
runout as follows:
Notice : Permissible lateral runout is a maximum 0.03 mm
(0.0012 inch). If lateral runout exceeds the specification,
ensure that there is no dirt between the rotor and the hub
and that contact surfaces are smooth and free from burrs.
1. Position the shift lever in NEUTRAL.2. Remove the rotor. Refer to ”Rotor” in this section.
3. Fasten the brake rotor to the wheel hub with two
wheel bolts.
4. Fasten a dial indicator to the brake caliper.
5. Set the gauge probe tip to approximately 10 mm
(0.39 inch) from the outer edge of the brake rotor,
perpendicular to the disc and under slight preload.
6. Remove the dial indicator and the wheel bolts con-
necting the rotor to the hub.
Important : Since accurate control of the rotor tolerances
is necessary for proper performance of the disc brakes, re-
finishing of the rotor should be done only with precision
equipment.
7. Refinish the rotor, if required, with precision equip-
ment. Discard the rotor if it fails to meet the above
specifications after refinishing.
8. Install the rotor. Refer to ”Rotor” in this section.
