Suspension

The suspension of automobiles ÓÀÇ-31512, ÓÀÇ-311514,

ÓÀÇ-31519 (Fig. 52) consists of four longitudinal semielliptic

springs functioning in conjunction with four hydraulic tele-

scopic shock absorbers. The front and rear shock absorbers are

identical in design and interchangeable.

The automobile ÓÀÇ-3153 and some automobiles ÓÀÇ-31512,

ÓÀÇ-31514, ÓÀÇ-31519 are equipped with a combined suspen-

sion: the front suspension (Fig. 53) - spring with transverse

stabilizer, the rear one (Fig. 54) - on small-leaf springs. The

front and rear shock absorbers of the combined suspension are

not interchangeable.

Maintenance of the Suspension

Periodically check the condition and attachment of the

springs and shock absorbers. To prevent corrosion and eliminate

squealing noise, lubricate the spring leaves at least once a year.

To lubricate the springs, remove them from the automobile,

disassemble, wash in kerosene, dry and lubricate each leaf with

a grease according to Lubrication Table. The small-leaf springs

of combined suspension need no grease.

Knocks and squeaks in the spring eyes are symptoms of worn-

out rubber pads.

When installing the springs, carry out the last tightening of

the U-bolt nut on the automobile standing on the wheels.
