Tool:

Parts and consumables:

Notes:
I wanted to fix the front suspension of my car. In winter, the roads are not sweet, and right after the purchase I was given advice on replacing some of the levers. Also, the reason for the quick replacement of the suspension was a characteristic crunch at the start of the car (one-time). Ordered the necessary parts.

1 . Raise the car with a lift.
2 . We remove the wheels, remove the caliper to the side, remove the brake disc, unscrew the drive.
3 . We soak the bolts with chemistry, it is better in advance.
4 . Since I changed the entire suspension and the levers were not removed easily, we decided to warm them up. Fire works wonders. After warming up, a couple of strokes and everything flies quickly and almost effortlessly.
5 . Remove the top levers.
6 . We unscrew the lower levers and here we have a knuckle with a bearing, which I will most likely change and which can crunch when the steering wheel is turned out and the movement starts.
7 . We lower the car and unscrew the 3 nuts of the rack under the hood. One of the nuts is hidden behind a rubber plug.
8 . We took out the rack and continue to disassemble it further.
9 . There is an apparatus for tightening the spring, but you can disassemble it without tightening it. And you can put it without a screed using an additional jack. But it is still convenient to use the tool.

10 . We dress the already inserted rack on the lower arm under load.
Warning:
Do not forget to lubricate all the bolts with a special substance / paint against souring joints, for future work.
11 . We repeat the same with the left side.
12 . After all, it is necessary to do the convergence / collapse.
13 . The feel of the new suspension is great. Everything became soft and without unnecessary blows to the body. Handling is also better.
