3. Disconnect the stabilizer bar from the end of its rod. Disconnect the differential ventilation hose.
4. Loosen the upper and lower mounting nuts and disconnect the lower shock absorber support from the axle.
5. Carefully lower the bridge assembly until the coil spring can be removed.
6. Check the spring for cracks, deformations and weakening of the developed force. If possible, compare the parameters of the removed spring with the new one.
7. Check the compression stroke limiter for damage and signs of material aging. If necessary, loosen the mounting bolts and replace the limiter.
