VAZ-2107 silent blocks are being replacedquite simple. To do this, you do not need to have any special skills, receive secondary technical education in the specialty mechanic. It is enough to get a normal tool and pullers necessary for operation. However, sometimes you can do without them, only the repair will last a little longer. In this article we will try to consider how to replace the rubber-metal hinges on the seven. The same manual can be applied to all other models of the classic series.
Все автомобили, которые именуются классикой, have rear wheel drive. Consequently, the front suspension is more complicated when compared to the "MacPherson", which is used on front-wheel drive cars. Hence we can conclude that the replacement of the front silent blocks of the VAZ-2107 should be made as often as possible in order to avoid problems with control. The appearance of the rubber hinges resembles a glass. Inside it is made of metal, top treated with rubber.
Suspension arms are precisely those elements inMounted silent blocks. In total, there are four levers on the front of the VAZ-2107 - two on the left side, the same on the right. They are attached to the body by means of rubber-metal hinges. It was possible, of course, to use ball bearings for such a purpose, but their resource would be much lower. Yes, and smooth strokes while driving on a rough road, they could not.
To check the status of silent blocksneed to use a pit or overpass. Without such amenities it will be difficult to diagnose the suspension and drive a seven, so the pit should be in every garage. Car budget, therefore, it can be repaired without any problems with their own hands. But you need to determine whether the replacement of the VAZ-2107 silent blocks is necessary; the price of one is about 50 rubles. For a set of 8 silent blocks you will give 400 rubles.
Carefully inspect the suspension arm, evaluateappearance of the rubber hinge. If the rubber has obvious damage - it began to become covered with cracks, or there are cuts in general, then all the elements must be replaced. When carrying out repairs try to do a maximum of work. Therefore, changing not only all eight silent blocks, but also, having assessed the condition of the ball, carry out their replacement if necessary. It is also worth looking at the condition of the wheel bearing, if necessary, tighten the nut.

You also need a support for the car and wheel chocks. With their help, you will not let the car slide and fall. The upper silent blocks of VAZ-2107 are replaced after the lever is removed. But to pull out the hinge, you need a special puller. Its cost is slightly less than that of a set of hinges, but it will be useful in the future, with the next repair of the suspension. And of course, we need a standard set of tools - wrenches, cap, and socket keys.
To replace the hinges on the upper armsuspension sevens, you need to remove it. Make it easy, you only need to raise the wheel and unscrew the bolts of its attachment. After that, your gaze will open a lovely view of all elements of the suspension, including the upper arm. On it, the replacement of silent blocks VAZ-2107 is carried out only after complete dismantling. Note that the lever is attached to the body with the axle-bolt, as well as to the hub by means of a ball joint.
The ball does not need to be extruded from the hole inthe hub, just enough to unscrew the three bolts that attach it to the suspension arm. Completely it is necessary to remove it only in case of replacement. After unscrewing the three ball bolts, it is necessary to remove the lever from the body. To do this, unscrew the nut from the axis and knock out the last one. That's all, the lever is removed, now you clamp it firmly in a vice and with the help of a puller you dismantle the old hinges. With the help of the same puller, put new ones in place. And now you can mount the lever in place.
Немного проще делается замена нижних silent blocks VAZ-2107, because you do not need to remove the lever. Instead, alternately unscrew the mounting nuts (first in front, then behind). Install the puller and press out the hinge with it. Installation of the new is in the reverse order. In a similar pattern, change the rubber mounts on the left and right side of the car. But you need to make a few comments to all of the above.
When working, be sure to look atcondition of all suspension elements. In particular, for the presence of damage or deformation of the levers. If they are present, then you can never do a similarity collapse. Moreover, any master who does this procedure will simply wrap you up and tell you to change the suspension first. And he is right, because it is impossible to adjust the wheel angles on the dead suspension. No matter how well the adjustment is carried out, after a few kilometers the corners will get off, the tires will start to collapse.
In conclusion, I would like to mention a fewparts that need to know when replacing the silent blocks VAZ-2107. The most important is the need to replace not only the silent blocks, but also all the nuts that you unscrew during repairs. Everywhere they are self-locking - they have small plastic inserts on their threads that fix the position on the bolt. Re-use of these nuts is not recommended. In addition, try to treat all threaded joints with penetrating lubricant the day before the repair. If she did not help, then you have to use a gas canister, with which you need to warm up the thread.
