 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Car front also establish to Poddomkratta it on props. Perhaps it will be required to remove the left forward wheel for ensuring access to the left forward spherical hinge.
  2. On models of early years of release give a nut of fastening of a steering damper to cross steering draft, remove a washer. Give a nut with a bolt of fastening of a damper to a cross jet bar and remove a damper from the car.

On some models the steering damper instead of a cross jet bar fastens to a chassis frame. In this case it is necessary to give instead of mentioned the corresponding fixture.

  1. On models of late years of release give nuts since both ends of a steering damper, holding its rod not movably by means of a wrench. Remove washers and rubber plugs, then take a steering damper from under the car.
  2. Take forelocks from koronchaty nuts since both ends of cross steering draft. Turn off nuts.
  3. If the stripper is available, use it for release of spherical hinges of cross steering draft from a rotary fist and a bipod of the steering mechanism.
  4. If the stripper is unavailable, take fingers of spherical hinges by pressing quickly of one hammer to the corresponding landing ear, and strike with the second hammer a reverse side of an ear.
  5. Remove cross steering draft from the car. Check draft for existence of cracks and signs of deformation, in case of need make replacement.
  6. Check spherical hinges for existence of an axial side play for what undertake the hinge one hand, and the second try to shake here and there a sharovy finger. If the side play takes place, replace cross draft.
  7. Check effort of turning of spherical hinges for what screw nuts, clamp draft in a vice and rotate a sharovy finger by means of a sensitive dynamometer key (see an accompanying illustration). Nominal force of turning of the spherical hinge lies in the range between 1.0 and 4.9 Nanometers. In case of need replace draft.
