1. Case; 2. Retaining ring
4. On rear-wheel drive vehicles, move the torsion bar arm from the body side toward the rear of the vehicle and remove the torsion bar. Remove the torsion bar arm from the lower control arm (photo).
5.4 Nuts for fastening the torsion arm to the lower suspension arm on rear-wheel drive vehicles
5. On all-wheel drive vehicles, unscrew the bolts securing the torsion bar arm to the lower arm (photo) and remove the torsion bar together with the inner arm, moving it towards the front of the vehicle.
5.5 Nuts for fastening the torsion arm to the lower control arm on all-wheel drive vehicles
6. Check the condition of the torsion bar, the presence of torsional deformations, damage, check the integrity of the splined ends.
7. On rear-wheel drive vehicles, secure the torsion arm to the lower arm, tighten the bolts to the specified torque. Lubricate the splines and insert the torsion bar into the arm from the suspension side.
8. On all-wheel drive vehicles, secure the torsion bar to the lower arm and tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
Attention! If both torsion bars were removed, install them in their original places, using the R (right) and L (left) marks as a guide.
9. Use a jack to lift the lower arm until the arm buffer rests against the frame (photo).
5.9 Before installing the torsion bar, the gap C must be equal to 0.
1. Lower arm; 2. Buffer
10. Install the fixed lever and adjust the initial position of the movable torsion lever so that the clearance G corresponds to that specified in Technical data (photo).
5.10 Install the fixed torsion arm on the frame side and adjust it so that the clearance G is within the standard
1. On rear-wheel drive vehicles; 2. On all-wheel drive vehicles
11. Install the retaining ring into the groove of the movable lever and put on the cover.
12. By rotating the fixed lever nut, set the bolt protrusion size L (photo).
5.12 Rotate the nut to set the fixed lever bolt protrusion size L
1. On rear-wheel drive vehicles; 2. On all-wheel drive vehicles
13. Lower the car onto its wheels and compress the suspension. Check the swing amplitude of the lever H at the indicated points (photo). If the dimension H does not correspond to that specified in the Technical Data, then set the standard dimension by rotating the torsion bolt nut.
5.13a Dimension H, which should be set when adjusting the torsion bar on rear-wheel drive vehicles
1. Center of the lower suspension arm axis; 2. Stretch mount bot

5.13b Dimension H, which should be set on all-wheel drive vehicles
1. Lower edge of the wheel rotation limiter
14. Check and adjust wheel alignment (performed in a car service).
