General procedures
Check suspension components for increased play, wear and damage.
Rock the rear wheels vertically to detect increased play.
Tighten all suspension brackets to the required torque (see figure "Rear suspension device").
Shock absorbers
Check the shock absorbers for oil leaks and damage.
Hub bearings
Check the axial clearance in the bearings.
- Axial clearance - no more than 0.05 mm
Check the ease and smoothness of rotation of the bearings.
Check the tightening torque of the hub nut.
- Tightening torque of the hub nut - 186-255 Nm
Replace the rear hub bearing assembly if the axial clearance is not within the specified limits or the bearing rotates unevenly, with jamming and extraneous noise (see section "Wheel hub").
Rear wheel alignment angles
Collapse and toe-in. These angles are set by the suspension design and cannot be adjusted during operation. The angle values are given in the section "Data for adjustments and control". If any of the angles are not within acceptable limits, it is necessary to check the suspension parts, replacing damaged or worn ones.
Before measuring the wheel alignment angles, it is necessary to perform the preliminary checks described in the relevant section of the chapter "Front suspension".
Measuring the toe-in of the rear wheels is done in the same way as for the front wheels.
