Load the car according to normal loading. And measure the actual height (A, Fig. 13.45) between the lower edge of the wing (1) and the edge of the wheel rim (2), along a perpendicular line dropped through the center of the wheel.
Determine the average height (A) before and after the car body subsidence for each wheel and calculate the average value for the axle. Compare with the table value.
If the average value deviates from the specified value by more than 10 mm, install new shock absorber springs according to the spare parts catalog.
Attention! Replace springs simultaneously on both sides of the body, in pairs. Install springs of the same marking.
The technological process for replacing the shock absorber spring is given above (see "Replacing the front shock absorber strut").
