VAZ 2106 and 2107 are the same cars as Renault or Honda. The only difference is that it is the brainchild of the domestic automobile industry. However, this does not mean that they cannot break. A machine is, first of all, a mechanism, each detail in which plays its own special role. Depending on the quality of the road surface, the chassis of any car wears out over time. That is why it is very important to know how much the crosspiece costs for the VAZ 2106 and 2107.
On average in Russia, the cost of this element for both cars is 350-400 rubles . Depending on the region, the price may vary.
What is it?
The crosspiece is a very important component of the driveshaft, which transmits rotation from the power unit to the rear wheels, and the “six” and “seven”, as we know, are rear-wheel drive. It helps to rotate the rotation coming from the gearbox by 90 degrees in order to rotate the wheels in the desired direction.
If the part is faulty, then the following symptoms may appear:
- Clicking noise when starting.
- Noise appears during sudden acceleration.
- Heavy knocking or knocking noises when shifting gears.
- Vibration at speeds over 80 km/h.
- Presence of a squeak.
This chassis part consists of several components:
- Needle bearing.
- Thrust bearing.
- Retaining ring.
- Tylnik.
- Sealing cuff.
- Needle and thrust bearing cup.
Thanks to its cross-shaped shape, this part got its name.
Overhaul of the engine in a VAZ 2106 car
Before starting a major overhaul of the VAZ 2106 engine, it is required to dismantle it for detailed disassembly of the component elements. This is only possible if you have the appropriate plumbing and measuring tools, as well as new sets of replacement parts.

Mark with a marker all the dismountable parts of the motor and place them in a certain order for subsequent assembly.
What does the price depend on?
There are several different factors that influence the final cost of a given item. The first is characteristics . The crosspiece is a very important part that is constantly under influence, therefore its degree of wear is greater than that of some others. Therefore, there are two main types of crosses: reinforced and not. The first one will obviously be more expensive, but it will also last longer.
The second is a sample . It's no secret that VAZ has improved its cars over the course of its existence, changing some elements, which is why they produce old and new crosspieces. It is not recommended to install new crosspieces on the VAZ 2107, because this will significantly affect the rigidity of the hinges.
The third is the manufacturer. Obviously, car owners will only buy spare parts from a reliable manufacturer. Today, the best companies in the production of these spare parts are: GKN (Germany), VolgaAvtoProm LLC, AVTOVAZ OJSC.

Disassembling the gearbox and replacing satellites
The satellites are additional gears installed in the differential gearbox. Their purpose is to transmit torque to the axle shafts of the rear wheels. Like any other part, pinion gears are subject to wear. After this, they will have to be changed, since this part cannot be repaired. To restore worn teeth, the car owner has neither the necessary skills nor the necessary equipment. In addition, any gear in a car undergoes a special heat treatment - carburization, which is carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere and strengthens the surface of the teeth to a certain depth, saturating this surface with carbon. An ordinary car enthusiast cannot do anything like this in his garage. Therefore, there is only one solution: purchase a repair kit for the rear axle gearbox. It costs about 1500 rubles. Here's what it includes:
- a pair of gears for axle shafts;
- a pair of satellites for the differential;
- satellite axis;
- support washer.
In addition to the repair kit for gearboxes, you will also need a set of regular open-end wrenches, a screwdriver and a hammer.
Purpose and principle of operation of the gearbox
The rear gearbox of the “seven” is a transmission link between the axles of the rear wheels and the engine. Its purpose is to transmit torque from the engine crankshaft to the rear wheels while simultaneously converting the rotation speed of the axle shafts.
Rear gearbox - transmission link between the engine and the rear wheels of the “seven”
In addition, the gearbox must be able to distribute torque depending on the load applied to the left or right wheel.
Principle of operation
Here are the main stages of transmitting torque from the motor to the gearbox:
- the driver starts the engine and the crankshaft begins to rotate;
- from the crankshaft, torque is transmitted to the car’s clutch discs, and then goes to the input shaft of the gearbox;
- when the driver selects the desired gear, the torque in the gearbox is transferred to the secondary shaft of the selected gear, and from there to the driveshaft connected to the gearbox with a special crosspiece;
- the cardan is connected to the rear axle gearbox (since the rear axle is located far from the engine, the “seven” cardan is a long rotating pipe with crosses at the ends). Under the action of the cardan, the main gear shaft begins to rotate;
- rotating, the gearbox distributes torque between the axle shafts of the rear wheels, as a result the rear wheels begin to rotate.
