How to lift a VAZ 21099 car

Front Engine Mount VAZ 2109

Buying tall cars, so-called SUVs, is becoming more popular every day.
The high ground clearance of such vehicles helps them overcome bad roads with deep holes, mud and piles of snow. There were cases when cars got stuck in such harsh conditions that hiring a tractor or renting a crane was required to get them out of the way. If your car has a lower ground clearance, you can increase it by adjusting it. Experts will help us figure out how to increase the ground clearance of the VAZ 2109. An affordable and simple way would be to enlarge the wheels of your car. It is necessary to increase the radius of the rims and tires so much that the rubber does not touch the car body even under some load. From a technical point of view, this method is fast and easy, but its effect is small.

Changing and optimizing the chassis can lead to a significant increase in vehicle clearance.

In order to increase ground clearance, it is possible to make spacers between the shock absorber coils. As a result, this method will reduce the spring compression travel and shock absorber travel.

It should be noted that the movement will become less comfortable and rigid, despite the fact that the ground clearance will increase by 1-3 cm.

To increase the ground clearance of the VAZ 2109, the optimal method is to create space between the pillar supports and the car body. To do this, a spacer is placed between the pillar supports and the body, which will raise the car body itself. The size of the spacer should not be large. Otherwise, the vehicle's handling will deteriorate. Using this method, the ground clearance will increase by 3 cm. It is also good that the suspension elements will not wear out.

The spacer is made from different types of materials. Consider the characteristics of each.

— Polyurethane. Although it is the most popular, it can cause the spacer to compress, causing the car body to be deformed by the bushings.

- Aluminum. The spacers are quite durable. From an aesthetic point of view, aluminum spacers become somewhat noticeable under the hood of a car. Can lead to corrosion on the car body

— Rubber and plastic (ABC plastic). This is ideal. Spacers made of plastic or rubber do not oxidize and are quite durable. There is no deformation or corrosion of the body. Driving comfort will not be reduced.

It should be taken into account that installing spacers is a costly undertaking, and the ground clearance will increase by only 3 cm. You should also be alert to possible malfunctions of the brake system due to a shift in the center of gravity after installing the spacers.

What causes damage to the body of the “nine”

There is an opinion that Soviet cars are equipped with an “indestructible” body. It is impossible to say this one hundred percent, but it is also wrong to refute such a statement. Indeed, the body of the VAZ 2109, the diagram of which is presented in the article, is made to perfection, but over time, any quality will come to an end.

Almost all car bodies older than 5-7 years need repair. And there is nothing surprising about this. The living conditions of recent years, the huge amount of harmful substances, the general deterioration of the environment - all this cannot have a positive effect. Difficult, almost extreme, modern operating conditions also cause a lot of harm.

As a result, the state of the metal surface becomes deplorable, the internal combustion engine and parts are sent for disassembly, and instead of a worn-out but close-to-the-heart car, a new car takes its place. All this can be avoided if you know the features of the body layout, understand the intricacies and carry out preventive maintenance in a timely manner.

How to increase ground clearance (clearance)

Increasing ground clearance is most often done by off-road driving enthusiasts, hunters and other people who like to go out of town. Roads in the city are significantly different from country roads. That is why increasing the clearance for cars unsuitable for these roads is one of the most important procedures.

Among the disadvantages of this method are the appearance of a speedometer error and the limitation of the diameter by the wheel arches. This means that if you install a wheel that is too large in diameter, it will hit the arches on sharp turns.

When to change springs

The smoothness of the car, its handling, and driving safety depend on the quality and condition of this part. VAZ front springs usually last 5-10 years, but due to the poor condition of the roads they have to be replaced approximately every 3 years. Springs are also regularly exposed to various negative external influences: they are hit by stones, they are affected by moisture. All this reduces their service life. By replacing the springs, you can also increase the vehicle's load capacity. This is relevant for those cases if you need to transport heavy loads with its help. Some car owners also use them to increase the speed characteristics of their vehicles.

In conclusion, it is worth saying that taking into account all the advantages and disadvantages of different methods, the driver himself decides how to increase the car’s ground clearance. In addition, it is possible to combine different methods, which significantly increases the effect, but it is not recommended for this “tuning” of the chassis to go beyond the technical characteristics of the car, as this can increase wear on the remaining parts of the suspension.

Good evening, and maybe morning, everyone. The question is - we need to raise the front end of the VAZ 2109 (I know that most people cut the springs, on the contrary, but I’m tired of clinging to the holes on our “asphalt” with a pallet. How can this be implemented? Could the engine “fall” down due to a tired cushion (although outwardly it looks like new). I'm waiting for any suggestions. Maybe the springs can be replaced with some other ones? There are spacers, but you can't lift them too much either - the straightness of the drives will be disrupted.. in short, I don't know what to do, I ask for your advice).

New body for VAZ 21099: check and pitfalls when replacing

The new body for the VAZ 21099 is of interest to most owners for whom the car is not just a means of transportation. In order not to send their pet to scrap, they go to great lengths to return the car to its normal appearance. As a rule, a car body that has been in a serious accident is written off at a service station and offered a replacement. We will learn from the article how the replacement is carried out, whether it is worth doing and what pitfalls await the car owner in this case.

Front Engine Mount VAZ 2109

Replacing a VAZ 2109 Engine, Front, Side and Transmission Hello, Dear readers of the RtiIvaz blog. RU. Today's article will be about replacing the front, side and transmission of a 2109 car.

Engine mounts for the VAZ 2109 are quite reliable and last a long time. This is due to the fact that high-quality materials were used in their manufacture, and there were also changes in the structure of production of rubber products from rubber products. But everything has its own service life during the operation of the car; the material of the rubber supports ages due to natural wear and tear, for example, the car requires maintenance. In addition to the natural wear and tear of an age-related part, there is also a spare output of rubber engine mounts. This may be the result of a tragedy, obstruction, open hatch, etc. Replacement of rubber pads is necessary in cases of vibration, detonation when starting the car and braking, as well as sudden acceleration, poor gear shifting.

Additionally, when the engine is mounted to the shell, it becomes difficult to replace the timing belt as the engine slack is actually tight against the right mudguard, making it difficult to remove the timing belt cover and service the car's engine. With heavy engine rods, the joints are loaded with so-called half-grenades as their operating geometry changes, resulting in a significant reduction in their service life. Many cars behind the scenes have a slight knocking noise associated with the engine being misaligned and the drivetrain sliding against the live beam housing. As you can see, your old rubber bearings can cause a lot of problems for car owners, so replacing the engine mounts for the VAZ 2109 should be done as soon as possible.

If you replace faulty engine mounts incorrectly, even more expensive parts may fail. To get the job done, you'll need a vent or trestle. As a rule, we do not consider lifting works, since they are usually not found in the garages of our car owners. You will also need: new stand/cushion, lift or jack, socket and socket set, sockets, wrenches, ratchets, anti-rust (if needed).

Pitfalls of modern design

Replacing a body is a responsible process. There may be several reasons that prompted the owner to make this decision. These are not only accidents, but also the natural obsolescence of the metal frame, general environmental degradation, corrosion, and so on.

Body replacement and confusion with documents

Registration of replacement of the body with a new one is mandatory. If earlier this could be done without any problems, with your own hands, today it is not so simple.

One of the main elements of the body during today's replacement is Vin. The ID number must match. But what if the body changes completely to a new one?

Changes that affected the law after 2013 allowed this procedure to be carried out, but only in special technical centers with a special license. After the replacement, they provided the relevant documents confirming the procedure and were certified by a seal.

Body replacement with decoration

Recent changes to the regulations generally prohibit any replacements if the VIN code is not in place. In response to the legitimate indignation of citizens, local authorities have so far gotten away with boilerplate answers.

What will happen next is still unknown. Owners of cars with damaged and deformed bodies are allowed to operate their cars at risk to their lives, but for some reason they are prohibited from replacing the metal frame with a new one. One thing is clear - this cannot continue for long.

There are, as always, non-standard ways to arrange a replacement. Of course, if you think about it, this is pure fraud, but car owners are forced to do this by the authorities themselves. Vin numbers are falsified, replacement is issued retroactively (traditional bribe to traffic police officers) - all this is possible, but there are no official ways to carry out replacement yet.

What to do? All that remains is to wait until the authorities decide to change the law, thereby solving the absurd situation. In the meantime, most owners of used cars, accidentally or intentionally put in an awkward position, dream of a new body for VAZ models.

Vin code

On the other hand, if you think about it, is it worth doing this at all? The approximate price of a new VAZ 21099 body is no less than 70-100 thousand rubles. This is a very expensive pleasure, because it would be easier and cheaper to buy another car or completely restore the body at a service station.

How to raise the front of a VAZ 2109

The vehicle's ground clearance is a parameter that does not happen much on our roads. Although, if you look from the other side, it is not uncommon to come across a car on the street with a lowered suspension.

Most often they decide to increase clearance due to the following cases:

If you install “house” spacers under the pillars, you will be able to raise the rear of the car.

Spacers as a means of increasing ground clearance

Some sets of supports (for example, SS-20) have so-called “spacers” (12mm).
They are installed between the strut support and the car body and are divided into polyurethane, aluminum and plastic. I think the positive effect is clear - higher ground clearance, but the negative effects will be different: When the car is standing still, the shock absorbers will not lift the body - after all, it hangs on springs. The role of the struts can be understood in motion, when the car sways and “pecks” on soft or dead shock absorbers. You drive off the curb and your car’s nose hits the asphalt. If the shock absorbers are in good condition, they will “catch” the car halfway. Thus, shock absorbers do not affect ground clearance, but have the same effect as increased ground clearance. Alternative shock absorbers may have a longer rod, which will provide more suspension travel. We discuss these subtleties in the topic “which shock absorbers are better to choose.”

Replacing springs to increase ground clearance

The car body hangs on springs, so they have a direct impact on ground clearance.

Springs 2108 are installed on the front suspension of the VAZ 2110 car as standard. “Tens” with 16kW internal combustion engines are equipped with reinforced springs 2112. In addition, suspension springs are divided into two classes “A” and “B”.

If you prefer to load your car to capacity, then perhaps you should choose class A springs (yellow), because... They hold a little more load.

The rear springs of cars of the tenth family are also different. For example, springs 2112 are lower, but more elastic, and 2111 are higher, but softer. Those who are interested can familiarize themselves with the choice of rear springs on the forum or in the topic “which springs are best to choose.”

Do not forget that if the spring is very strong, then the rebound stroke of the shock absorber decreases (the shock absorber does not work, the suspension does not function), and there is a lack of ride comfort (the car is “goat”). As a result, rapid failure of the shock absorber.

Undoubtedly, the interturn spacer allows you to increase ground clearance to some extent. This happens by reducing the compression of the spring. After installing such spacers, the car will no longer have the same rocking motion and the car will stop pecking at the front end. In addition, interturn spacers can protect the suspension from puncture, but they lead to a decrease in the shock absorber's compression stroke (the shock absorber practically does not work, the spring practically does not compress), an increase in suspension rigidity, and a decrease in comfort.

Spacers for springs

Spacers are made of high-strength rubber, do not deform and are able to support the weight of the car.
They are installed between the spring and the body. If the spring sag, then no spacer will save it, because in such a spring the interturn distance is reduced. Riding on such springs is already becoming dangerous, because the stroke before the coils close is reduced. It’s a different story when such a spacer is placed on a normal spring and a working body. In this case, it will increase the ground clearance, but at the same time the rebound stroke will decrease and the compression stroke of the shock absorber will increase, which in general is also not very pleasant. The third case is when the spring is normal, but the ground clearance has decreased due to body aging. In this case, the spacer will not harm the car.

It is worth noting that VAZ did not approve the spacers.

Depending on the configuration of cars of the tenth family, wheel rims are installed with a 13th or 14th radius. If you replace the standard wheels of a car with wheels of a larger radius, then no matter how you look at it, the vehicle's ground clearance will increase. As well as replacing tires with higher ones (for example, 175/55 R13 to 175/65 R13).

It is important to know what size of wheels and tires is the maximum permissible for a particular car (data for wheels/tires for VAZ 2110). I wouldn’t be surprised if, after installing high tires, the wheels start to touch the fender liners.

Install houses on the rear suspension of the car

We approached the issue of installing spacers (houses) between the lower end of the rear shock absorber and the eyes of the rear suspension beam of the VAZ 2110. The convenience of this method of raising the car is that the houses, due to special holes, allow you to choose the height of the increase in ground clearance.

There are a lot of disputes about the advisability of installing “houses”; some claim that this is a good way to raise the rear if the springs have sagged, others cite a number of negative statements. Only one thing is clear: if you decide to install shock absorber spacers, then do not forget that three important parameters will change along with this:

These parameters are directly related to the safety of the car on the road, so it is important not to forget to adjust them.

Negative consequences of increasing clearance

Conclusion

Stories from our readers

“Fucking basin. "

Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange two cars for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.

If you think about what affects the ground clearance of a car, it becomes clear that it is a number of ways:

screw suspension.
install spacers between the body and the strut support.
install non-standard strut supports, springs (longer) or shock absorbers.
install interturn spacers in the springs
install higher rubber bands under the springs
replace tires and wheels

If you install “house” spacers under the pillars, you will be able to raise the rear of the car.

As you might have noticed, there are many ways to make a car taller, but how is increasing ground clearance and car performance related?

Negative consequences of increasing clearance

If the vehicle's ground clearance is increased by no more than 5cm, then there should be no negative effects. But a further increase in clearance will be associated with unjustified difficulties. In addition to those points described above, add less stability of the car on the road (drift and large rolls) and greater wear of suspension components and assemblies. What does it mean ?

When the center of gravity rises, the car's roll and sway increase while driving. To prevent a rollover, it is important that the vehicle's suspension is adjusted correctly. An example would be a tall Mercedes A class when it capsized in front of journalists during the “moose test”. Then they delayed the release of the car and began to modify the chassis. It all ended with increasing the elasticity of the suspension and replacing the wheels with low-profile ones. You can combat vehicle roll by installing various additional stabilizers.

Installing the FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER SPACER/How to lift the FRONT OF a VAZ car

Sometimes you can see how Russian “eights” and “nines” quickly start from a traffic light and quickly “go” far ahead, ahead of foreign cars with powerful engines. What sets these seemingly ordinary cars in motion?

Owners of Russian cars most often modify Tolyatti “eights” and “nines”. There are dozens of options with different priorities and budgets, so everyone can “sharpen the chisel” to suit themselves. However, it must be taken into account that the traffic police does not welcome such alterations.

When upgrading the engine, you can get by with “little blood” without resorting to surgical intervention in the cylinder-piston group. The “minimum program”, as a rule, consists of installing a camshaft with a modified cam profile (most often they give preference to a “high” shaft, which allows the engine to rotate up to 6000 - 6500 rpm) and changing the intake and exhaust systems. Indeed, the factory version of the engine is “blocked from breathing,” and the exhaust system must meet the requirements for exhaust noise. The most affordable option is to install a sawn “pan” of an air filter or a sports filter element. If the engine is equipped with injection, the housing will have to be removed and the standard filter discarded. These modifications are not cheap (100 - 150), but they allow a 5% increase in power at maximum speed.

Sports cars can be heard far away thanks to a specially tuned direct-flow exhaust system that minimizes power losses. Installing a product from a famous company (for example, Remus) will cost 250 - 300, but the game is worth the candle: after installing such a “muffler”, the Samara will sound completely different - loud and bassy, as befits a “charged” car. Yes, and an additional 3 - 5 liters. With. haven't bothered anyone yet.

An even more extreme option, which only a few decide on, is a deep modernization of the engine, where only the block remains “original”. And even then, the cylinders are bored “to the finish”, so that after installing a crankshaft with an increased piston stroke and a piston group of increased diameter, they get 1.7, and in some cases, 2.0 (!) liters of working volume. They “cover” this “killer machine” with a 16-valve head from a VAZ-2112, and as a result, there are not a lot of “horses” under the hood “in Samara style” (120 – 130).

However, it must be taken into account that the last two finishing options are available only to highly qualified performers with the appropriate equipment. As a rule, famous tuning companies can do this. Well, perhaps any mechanic can install new intake and exhaust systems, as well as replace the camshaft; practically no special equipment is required for this.

The simplest budget old cars usually do not have a perfect design and have very modest equipment. Some of them also do not differ in quality and reliability. Therefore, their potential for improvement is very high. Moreover, many improvements can be made at a low cost on your own. Such cars include the VAZ-2109. Tuning it is discussed below.

Increasing the ground clearance of the VAZ 2109

An affordable and simple way would be to enlarge the wheels of your car. It is necessary to increase the radius of the rims and tires so much that the rubber does not touch the car body even under some load. From a technical point of view, this method is fast and easy, but its effect is small.

Changing and optimizing the chassis can lead to a significant increase in vehicle clearance.

In order to increase ground clearance, it is possible to make spacers between the shock absorber coils. As a result, this method will reduce the spring compression travel and shock absorber travel.

It should be noted that the movement will become less comfortable and rigid, despite the fact that the ground clearance will increase by 1-3 cm.

The spacer is made from different types of materials. Consider the characteristics of each.

— Polyurethane. Although it is the most popular, it can cause the spacer to compress, causing the car body to be deformed by the bushings.

- Aluminum. The spacers are quite durable. From an aesthetic point of view, aluminum spacers become somewhat noticeable under the hood of a car. Can lead to corrosion on the car body

The problem of choosing a car battery worries many drivers. To make the right choice, you need to study information about the basic parameters of the battery. Particular attention should be paid to the voltage, which is generally considered to be within 12 V. In fact, for most cars it is not.

Over the past couple of decades, a large number of imported SUVs have appeared on the automobile market, all of them have different advantages and disadvantages. One way or another, the demand for them is steadily growing, because in the conditions of Russian reality, taking into account climatic conditions, this type of transport is expensive.

The speed sensor serves to provide timely information to the controller about the vehicle’s speed impulses. The controller collects information and monitors engine operation at idle speed and adjusts the air supply bypassing the throttle valve using the idle speed regulator. Frequency.

Control dimensions

Before making any purchase, you need to check everything thoroughly. The same is the case with the body. The control dimensions of the metal frame and the correct location of certain points are a cursor by which you can assess the condition of the body. Knowing the standard control dimensions of the body for the VAZ 21099, you can find out about any deformations and damage, thereby protecting yourself from fraud when purchasing.

You can check the dimensions using a regular tape measure. Reference indicators are usually presented in linear and projection form. The first dimensions imply distances between points in a straight line, the second – in projection.

How to raise or lower the suspension of a VAZ car

Sooner or later, the time comes to modify the car’s suspension, or, more simply, the motorist is ready to tune the suspension of his VAZ. It doesn’t matter what the reasons are that the motorist decided to raise or lower the car’s suspension: both suspensions are possible, or only the front or rear.

You need to understand what responsibility the motorist will have if he decides to lower or raise the car’s suspension. Technologically, lowering or raising a car's suspension is not that difficult, even if the driver has little experience as an auto mechanic. The meaning is different.

Why are spacers needed?

As mentioned above, spacers allow you to independently and without much effort change the vehicle’s ground clearance. Such an operation may be necessary if the car is often used loaded, for example, to transport 4 passengers and cargo in the trunk. In this case, the car sags greatly and the wheel arches touch the rear wheels.

In addition, increasing the ground clearance will also be beneficial if you often have to drive on country roads that are not in the best condition. A higher ground clearance in this case, albeit slightly, will increase the vehicle’s cross-country ability.

Rear spacers VAZ 2114

The only thing you should not forget about is that installing spacers will lead to a change in the behavior of the car on the road. That is why, immediately after increasing the ground clearance, you should visit a car service center to check the camber/toe.

How to lower the suspension of a VAZ car

Tuning a car's suspension has some features. Before you lower or raise your car's suspension, you need to think about what the results will be after modifying the suspension. You need to understand that changing the factory standard parameters of the car will lead to a change in the physical properties that were originally included in the design.

Lowering the suspension not only improves the vehicle's handling, but also changes the appearance of the car. There are some peculiarities in lowering the suspension. When lowering, the motorist reduces the ground clearance (clearance). You also need to understand that when the suspension is lowered, the car will not drive on German autobahns and European roads.

There are potholes on our roads, and you will also have to cross tram rails. First, to lower the suspension, you must first diagnose the suspension and calculate the installation gaps between the wheel arch and tires.

It should also be taken into account that the tires will have to be changed to low-profile from high-profile. This is important to consider. Before raising or lowering the suspension, it is worth taking into account popular experience, which shows that all suspension components need to be changed at the same time. If you change suspension elements selectively, this will give the opposite results.

Installation of spacers for shock absorbers VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115, VAZ 2113, Lada Samara 2

Often, even a new VAZ 2113 car, with a fully or sometimes partially loaded trunk, touches the wheel arches with its rear wheels. You can get rid of this trouble, and at the same time increase ground clearance, by installing spacers between the lower ends of the rear shock absorbers and the eyes of the Lada 2115 rear suspension beam. We chose spacers that allow you to raise the rear of the car in three different positions.

ATTENTION

When lifting the rear of the car, three important parameters change: the position of the rear brake pressure regulator, the direction of the light beams of the headlights and the caster angle of the front wheels.

The first two parameters can be adjusted independently. Castor decreases when the rear is raised, affecting the stability and controllability of the car. To adjust it, it is better to resort to the services of a service station.

For a vehicle in running order and with a payload of 320 kg (4 people) in the cabin and 40 kg of cargo in the trunk, the wheel alignment angles must be within the following limits:

Angles of vehicle wheels in running order (without driver, passengers and cargo)

To install the spacers, we hang up the rear of the car.

Using a “19” wrench, unscrew the nut of the bolt of the lower mounting of the VAZ 2114 shock absorber, holding the bolt from turning with a head of the same size,...

...and remove the bolt.

Similarly, disconnect the lower mount of the second shock absorber.

On one side of the spacer the distance shown in the photo is greater than on the other. With this side we orient the spacer towards the longitudinal axis of the car.

Please note that the spacers are mirror symmetrical and can be installed on both the right and left sides of the car

For proper installation of the spacer, it is necessary that the line passing through the centers of the holes for fastening the spacer to the beam and the lower end of the shock absorber is close to vertical and coincides with the longitudinal axis of the shock absorber.

Therefore, when installing the selected spacer on the right side of the car, only one hole can be used to attach the VAZ 2115 shock absorber.

If this option does not suit you.

In this case, you can use one of the other two holes to mount the shock absorber.

We install the spacer on the beam eyes.

We place a spacer between the beam eyes and insert the bolt.

Place a nut on the bolt and tighten it to a torque of 70–85 N.m.

In this position of the spacers, the rear of the car can be raised to the maximum or minimum amount. We chose the bottom hole.

Insert the bolt into the holes in the spacer and into the shock absorber bushing.

Place a nut on the bolt.

Similarly, install a spacer between the lower end of the other shock absorber and the eyes of the rear suspension beam.

We tighten the nuts securing the lower ends of the shock absorbers to the spacers in the “car on wheels” position with a torque of 70–85 N.m.

To correctly install the pressure regulator, press the rear of the car with a force of 400–500 N.

Using a 13mm wrench, loosen the bolt securing the pressure regulator to the regulator drive lever bracket...

...and move the bracket with a screwdriver so that the gap between the lever and the lever spring is within 2.0–2.1 mm.

We check the gap with a drill or a piece of wire of the appropriate diameter.

After adjustment we carry out a road test. An observer outside the car should note that the rear wheels lock, which should occur slightly later than the front wheels when braking sharply from a speed of 30–40 km/h.

If the locking is too late, we reduce the gap; if it is early (the locking of the front wheels is ahead of the locking), we increase it, with the obligatory check in the manner indicated above.

To adjust the headlights, we place the equipped Lada 2113 car (with a spare tire, tools and a full tank of fuel) on a flat horizontal platform 5 m from the screen - a light wall of a building, garage, etc. We check and adjust the tire pressure on all wheels to normal, and place an assistant in the driver’s seat or place a 75 kg load. We mark the screen as shown in the figure (in this case, the intersection points of line 1 with lines A and B should be at the height of the centers of the headlights).

We set the headlight hydraulic adjustment handle to the minimum load position of the Lada 2114 car.

Turn on the low beam and cover the right headlight with a piece of cardboard. By rotating the adjustment screws of the left headlight, we ensure that the upper horizontal boundary of the light spot on the screen coincides with line 2, and the intersection point of the horizontal and inclined boundaries (E) with line A. We similarly adjust the light beam of the right headlight.

Steel brace brackets

The weakest point of the second generation Samara suspension system is considered to be the brackets designed for attaching the braces to the radiator frame. This problem was observed even in first-generation cars, but VAZ specialists did not pay due attention to modernizing this unit. That is why the silumin bracket can easily be damaged when parking the car near a curb or while overcoming uneven roads.

Improved bracket made of steel

Even a slight blow can damage the fragile silumin, causing the front end of the stretcher to hang in the air and it will cease to perform its functions (holding the wheel in a given position). Consequently, the car will not be able to move independently. Replacing a faulty part on the road may cause some difficulties. Based on this, many VAZ 2113 owners have long solved this problem by installing brackets cast from steel. They are more durable, and their silent blocks have high rigidity. The height of the steel bracket is less than the silumin one, which minimizes the possibility of it hitting any obstacle.

The sequence of performing this type of tuning:

First, use a 24 mm socket to unscrew the nut securing the brace and bracket. In this case, the VAZ 2113 extension must be held with an open-end wrench of the same size as the head;
Next you will need to remove the washer;
Using a 17 mm socket, unscrew the three bolts that secure the bracket to the radiator frame and remove the part to be replaced;
it is necessary to additionally put adjusting washers on the stretcher, since the steel bracket has less not only height, but also length;
before installing the left bracket on it, you will have to make a small sample with sandpaper or a file so that the towing eye does not interfere with installation;
Now you can install the bracket in place and bolt it to the cross member of the radiator frame;
then the same washer should be installed on the front end of the stretcher;
After completing all the steps, you need to install the nut and tighten it to a torque of 160-176 Nm.
