4. Separate the steering tie rod
(1) Remove the cotter pin and the nut
(2) Separate the tie rod ball stud pin from the knuckle.
5. Detach the swing arm assembly.
(1) Remove the lower swing arm assembly ball stud pin lock bolt and nut on the knuckle
(2) Detach the lower swing arm assembly ball stud pin from the knuckle
6. Remove the constant velocity propeller shaft assembly Appropriately pull the brake outward, use a
rubber hammer or brass bar to tap the propeller shaft to remove itNotice: Actions shall be taken to prevent the propeller from being dropped off, do not damage
the boot and the oil seal7 Inspect the propeller shaft assembly
(1) Check the tripod constant velocity universal joint for looseness
(2) Check the sliding shaft for smooth movement

100(3) Check the Rzeppa Constant velocity universal joint for looseness
(4) Check the boot for damage
Notice: Check that the propeller shaft assembly is placed horizontal.
8. Disassemble the tripod constant velocity universal joint boot Use screwdriver to loose the tripod constant
velocity universal joint boot band, remove the boot

Notice: Do not punch the marks
13. Installation is in the reverse order of removal procedure
Notice:
(1) Apply proper amount of long life grease as specified when assembling the tripod
velocity universal joint and Rzeppa Constant velocity universal joint, and then
assemble it according to the matchmark.(2) Keep both sides of the spline shaft clean, the boot intact and the band assembled into place(3) The tripod constant velocity joint spline shaft and the differential shall be assembled into place, with the snap ring opening facing down, use rubber hammer to tap it
appropriately when necessary
(4) Propeller shaft attaching nut torque: 145~155N.m, install the cotter pin
(5) Steering knuckle lower swing arm assembly ball stud pin retaining bolt and nut
torque: 80~90N.m

102(7) Install front wheel, wheel nut torque: 95~115N.m
(8) Make sure that the propeller shafts for 1.3L engine and 1.5L engine are not interchanged
at the time of replacement
(9) Check the ABS sensor signal, check and adjust the front wheel alignment if necessary.

103Chapter 5 Front Suspension SystemSection 1 Front Suspension SystemDescription on front suspension structure
This model uses strut swing arm independent suspension with stabilizer bar.
The shock absorber upper end is flexibly connected to the body through the shock absorber mounting seat,
the lower end is rigidly connected to the steering knuckle. The coil spring encloses the shock absorber (coil
spring geometrical axial line does not coincide with that of the shock absorber piston rod), and is supported
between the upper and lower spring seats.
Both ends of the stabilizer bar are connected to the shock absorber through the strut bar ball pin and the
intermediate part is supported on the lower front body by the rubber bushing and support frame.
The front cushion sleeves the shock absorber piston rod head to restrict the wheel jump limit position and
plays the role of buffer.
The thrust ball bearing, installed between the spring upper seat and the shock absorber mount, is used for the
relative rotation upon steering of the shock absorber rigidly connected to the steering knuckle to the shock
absorber mount flexibly connected to the body.
"L" type lower swing arm is secured to the lower engine compartment with the press plate through elastic
rubber bushing and hinge, and its outer end is connected to the steering knuckle through the ball stud pin
which is attached to the lower swing arm by 3 high intension bolts. The ball stud pin can be removed and
replaced when it is worn.
The ball seat material is saturated polyester containing oil, featured in comparatively high intensity and
wearability and good self-lubrication performance. Proper amount of grease has been added during the
assembly and there is no need for additional filling during the normal operation.
