How to replace the stabilizer bar with a VAZ 2101-2107
With a sufficiently strong wear of the rubber bushings on the stabilizer bar of VAZ 2101-2107 cars, the car begins to feel not very stable on the road, the front end becomes loose and at high speed you have to catch the car on the track.
The elastic bands are changed quite simply and in most cases they are bought, and the bar remains in place. But if the structure itself is damaged, it changes completely.
To perform this repair, you will need a tool, which is shown below in the photo:
- Deep end head 13
- Ratchet handle
- Vorotok
- Penetrating lubricant
To start performing this procedure, the first step is to apply a penetrating lubricant to all threaded connections that secure this structure, otherwise you can break off the bolts when unscrewing, which happens quite often.
When several minutes have passed after application, you can try to unscrew the bolts and nuts, starting from either side, first unscrewing the side fasteners (clamps), which are shown in the picture below:
Then you can proceed to the central mountings, which are also located on both sides of the front of the car, on the right and left:
When everything is unscrewed on both sides, the stabilizer bar of the VAZ 2101-2107 is removed without any problems.
Installation is carried out in reverse order. The price of a new rod is about 500 rubles, depending on the place of purchase, of course!
