Hang the front of the car and remove the wheels. Remove the hub cap. Install tool 02.7834.9505 2 under the wheel bolt (pic. 160). Rest the indicator leg 1 against the end of the axis of the rotary pin at the zero position of the arrow and, moving the hub 3 along the axis of the rotary pin, measure the amount of movement (clearance) by indicator.
If the gap is more than 0.15 mm, adjust it in the following order:
unscrew the adjusting nut from the steering knuckle pin, install a new or used, but on a different car, nut and tighten it to a torque of 2 kgf·m, while turning the hub in both directions 2-3 times to self-align the bearings. An old nut cannot be used, as it is difficult to ensure the reliability of its locking. Then loosen the adjusting nut and tighten it again with a torque of 0.7 kgf·m, then loosen it by 20-25°and lock it by pressing the collar of the nut into the grooves at the end of the stub axle. After adjustment, the clearance in the bearing should be in the range of 0.02-0.08 mm. When adjusting the clearance, it should be taken into account that the direction of the thread on the left trunnion is right, on the right it is left.
