Many car owners of VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 cars are faced with unpleasant vibration on the gear shift knob , which is caused by increased play in the connection. The appearance of play occurs as a result of wear of the gear shift pad . Symptoms of a broken rocker pad include rattling and loss of gear shift clarity. These symptoms include another malfunction - a broken gear selection rod hinge. If you're having problems with it, here's how to replace your selector rod pivot .
If you replaced the gear selector rod joint, and the problem did not go away, the rattling and vibration of the rocker remained, then you need to pay attention to the rocker pad.
Design and purpose of tens engine mounts
Over the years, vast practical experience has been accumulated on the topic of how to change engine mounts on a VAZ 2110, and videos of repair processes can also be found in abundance.
However, few people pay attention to the features of the part. And, it must be said, it is in vain, because such knowledge will help to accurately determine the source of vibration and purchase the necessary spare part for repair. The main purpose of the engine support is to reduce the level of vibration transmitted from the power unit to the car body. The rubber-metal structure consists of a steel base with a thick rubber cushion. The device has proven itself well, since it is quite reliable and is worth the money.
The eight-valve Lada 2110 engines are attached to the body at three points: right, left and rear. The side supports connect the body to the engine block through through holes. The rear support is attached with two bolts to the gearbox, and two nuts to the body. The importance of this damper part is very significant - it prevents longitudinal vibrations of the internal combustion engine during braking and acceleration.
When should you change the power unit mounts on a VAZ 2110: signs and reasons
Before you change the engine mounts of a VAZ 2110 car and watch a video of this process, you need to study the signs that indicate a breakdown of the rubber-metal mounts. The main symptoms characterizing problems with damper units:
- Vibrations transmitted to the steering wheel and pedal unit when idling.
- Extraneous noise in the cabin when moving on an uneven surface.
- A characteristic knocking sound in the engine compartment during acceleration and braking.
When drawing conclusions after your observations, you should not confuse vibrations on the steering wheel during braking, which are associated with defects in the brake discs or pads. To be more convincing, you need to open the hood and inspect the power unit supports. If you place your palm on a running internal combustion engine, you can feel changes in its operation.
Many years of experience in operating the Lada 2110 allows us to assert that the reasons for the failure of damper cushions are the following factors:
- Deformation phenomena on the rubber support due to mechanical and temperature influences, as well as due to exhausted service life.
- Cracking and delamination of rubber from exposure to chemically active components.
- Loss of elasticity caused by temperature changes.
Premature failure of the damper support can be caused by the owner’s excessive enthusiasm for such extreme techniques as sudden starts and emergency braking. Suspension parts are already subject to serious stress while driving, and a sporty driving style further increases the risk of their failure.
The appearance of sound, play and creaking
Replacing the backstage cushion
Generally speaking, the appearance of sound in the wings indicates either wear or the initial low quality of the cushion, and both options are essentially equivalent, since there is only one way out - replacing the wing cushion of the VAZ 2110. Many VAZ cars, due to the structural features of the design, often have the support is, to put it mildly, not of high quality. This fact becomes obvious when the car is not driving on a level surface. The sound is so noticeable that it becomes noticeable even to the driver who is in relative sound isolation.
Note: If you hear a sound in your car that was not there before, you should visit a technical service department or your own garage as soon as possible to determine the cause of the defect. Since if the defect is not identified immediately, the economic costs will be many times higher. Because the best way to fight is prevention in the first place.
Replacing the backstage cushion on a VAZ 2110
The insidiousness of knocks lies in their irradiation onto the body, and often they even reach directly into the cabin itself. In this case, the gearshift knob rattles so much that it is not very pleasant. Propagation of sound and ways to solve the problem is a separate technical chapter. This article is devoted to the rocker pad, which creates many unnecessary technical problems, including poor gear engagement.

Jun 25, 2022 VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 2110, VAZ 1117 Kalina, VAZ 2170 Priora by admin
On VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 cars, when unpleasant rattling, vibration and increased play in the gearshift knob appear, the happy owners of these vehicles should pay attention to the condition of the ball joint race of the gear shift link or as it is also called in common parlance gear shift pad . There is another option - backstage butterfly . But, I personally like the second option))). Due to the fault of this very pillow (ball joint cage) being completely broken, the clarity of gear shifting may also disappear. Yes, I know that all the listed symptoms also include a broken cardan (joint) of the gear selection rod. What kind of cardan is this and how to replace it you can find out from this article. But we’re not talking about him now and let’s assume that everything is ok with him. Or, as another option, the cardan was replaced, but the rattling and play of the rocker did not disappear. This also happens; not everyone immediately pays attention to the backstage cushion. But, it exists and it periodically fails (breakage of rubber “ears”, flying out of metal bushings, breaking of a plastic bushing or spring). The destruction of the rubber part of the cushion (ball joint race) of the rocker is not difficult to replace (see photos 1 and 15). And if you find them, then it’s time for you to get ready for work. Let me reassure you right away, it’s not complicated. But for everything to go smoothly, you need to be thoroughly prepared. That is, buy the necessary spare parts, decide on the location of the work, assemble the necessary tools and, of course, familiarize yourself with and remember in what sequence you should replace the cushion (ball joint race) of the gear shift lever on VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ- 2112 . And I will try to help you with this, and I invite you to further read this material.
Spare parts. Here the choice is obvious. I recommend choosing the ball joint clip for the gearshift mechanism of VAZ 2110-2112 cars - BRT (Balakovo) . As they say, time-tested quality. Photo 2.
List of tools that you will need to replace the cushion (ball joint race) of the gearshift slides of VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 cars : a 13-socket and socket wrench, a 10-size combination wrench, pliers, a flat-head screwdriver and a small ratchet with with a cross attachment (photos 3 and 4). The need for a ratchet with an attachment will be shown a little later. And you should immediately decide on the location of the work. It is advisable to replace the cushion in an inspection pit, overpass or lift. Why is it desirable? Because this work can be done “from the ground”, but believe me, it will take more time and effort. And it will still be a pleasure.
And so, into battle! Let's proceed to independently replacing the cushion (ball joint cage) of the gearshift mechanism of VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 :
1. Let's start working inside the car. Use a screwdriver to pry up the frame of the decorative cover of the gearshift slide (photo 5). Pull the lever handle up and remove it along with the cover.
2. Using a 10mm spanner, unscrew the two fastening nuts and the bolt of the reverse lock bracket lining and remove it (photos 6 and 7).
3. Using a 13mm wrench, unscrew the lever axle nut (photo 8). After this, use a wrench with an attachment (in my case it’s a ratchet) to unscrew the axle locking screw (photo 9). Without such a key, this screw will be difficult to unscrew. We take out the axle (photo 10). We remove the set of bushings from the lever, otherwise we risk losing them (photo 11). All. Now the work inside the car is finished, let's climb under the car.
4. Using a 13 mm socket wrench, unscrew the two nuts of the rocker pad bracket (photo 12). And remove the bracket.
5. Next, you should disconnect the reaction rod from the cushion (ball joint cage) of the rocker. We use a spanner wrench (hold the nut on top with it) and a 13mm socket wrench (photo 13).
6. Pull down the pillow along with the lever (photos 14 and 15). Remove the retaining ring (photo 16) and remove the lever along with the plastic bushing (photos 17 and 18).
7. That's it. We clean the lever hinge from dirt, lubricate it, and put on a plastic bushing. We place this whole thing in the pillow body and secure it with a locking ring (photos 19 and 20). We return this entire structure to its place (photo 21). Don't forget to put a cover on the pillow (photo 22).
Ready. We carry out the rest of the assembly in reverse order. The work on replacing the butterfly cushion (ball joint cage) of the gearshift gates of VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 cars has been completed. I hope it’s successful))).

Design features
If you have a “ten” with an 8-valve engine, then the design provides two side and one rear support;
On a 16 valve engine there are two side mounts, one lower and one upper.
It is important to note that 8 valve engines on the 10 have a rear engine mount, while on the 16 valve there is none. But such motors can boast of having additional supports.
Regardless of the design, the replacement procedure is performed using a similar method.
Malfunctions
In fact, it is quite easy to detect failed airbags, since engine vibrations will immediately increase.
If the power unit is working normally, but the body is shaking, vibration is felt on the steering rack, pedals, and dashboard, then there is no doubt that the engine mounts are worn out.
The vibration peak occurs when the engine starts and when it is turned off. If the rubber elements are completely worn out, then a knocking noise will begin to appear. It is caused by contact of engine elements with the supports.
To make sure the cushions are worn, turn on the engine, lift the hood, and visually inspect the supports and cushions. By placing your hand on the engine, you will tactilely feel an increase in vibrations compared to the normal behavior of the car.
There may be several reasons for problems.
Causes
Peculiarities
Deformation of elements can occur during the life of the pillows, under mechanical or temperature influences
Rubber does not have a large margin of strength, so it ages over time. This effect increases when exposed to temperature changes.
Delamination and cracking
The pillow can literally fall apart and creep apart when exposed to chemically aggressive substances.
Is replacement required?
If you find that the rear airbag or any other airbag has begun to wear out, you should under no circumstances delay repairs.
When starting to repair engine mounts, you should think about whether it is worth changing the cushions separately, or replacing the mounts as a whole.
If the support is not damaged, it is not necessary to replace it. That is, in such situations it is enough to simply replace the pillow. A set of new pillows for a VAZ 2110 today costs about 1.3 thousand rubles. A set of supports will cost you 2.5 thousand rubles.
Doing the work yourself or contacting a service station is your choice. But you should know that you will be charged at least 300 rubles for replacing one pillow.
Alternative supports
Replacement cushion for VAZ 2110
Considering the long-standing problem of Samara and a dozen, the manufacturer immediately released a whole series of alternative pillows:
- OJSC-BRT;
- SS-20;
- "Assomi".
Let's now consider their features:
- The support of JSC-BRT and the peculiarity of its structure is contained in a hinged product, which replaced the bearing in this place. At first glance, it looks like a panacea, since the general principle of operation seems to be clear: the creators of this technical innovation used an element that has increased rigidity in the radial direction. At first glance, the sounds should disappear and the car should become silent on uneven roads, however, conflicting reviews from the motorists themselves do not allow us to completely agree with this fact.
- An alternative to OAO-BRT is SS-20, where a steel bushing was installed in place of the standard bearing, which was completely welded into a rubber damper. The manufacturer of this new product claims that the SS-20 will completely eliminate the appearance of elevators and extraneous sounds. Moreover, the manufacturer directly promises that the SS-20 will be able to guarantee the classic behavior of the rocker (see Replacing the rocker on a VAZ 2110 on your own): regardless of the topography of the road surface, the lever will be stable and without extraneous sounds.
- The developers of "Assomi" boldly claim that the use of a special prescription rubber mixture will completely smooth out all impacts and sound noise, thereby significantly increasing the overall level of comfort of the car.

So, you need to choose who to trust, because there are a huge number of manufacturers to choose from, who all guarantee the high quality of their products. And most importantly, they guarantee that they managed to create a universal high-tech product that is most effective from a practical point of view.
Note. But it’s not entirely clear why some manufacturers of backstage cushions use rubber ears that quickly break?
Practical Feature of Alternative Choice
Unfortunately, “Assomi” and SS-20 are quite difficult to find in local stores; in the future they will go on wide sale, however, it is impossible to answer exactly when this will happen. It all depends on the store owners. The motorist is mainly offered imported products, as well as from national manufacturers, but only standard ones. It should be objectively understood that the quality of imported products varies significantly in comparison with national standard factory models, as does the price. Therefore, if you are pressed for time, it is best to order your own national alternative via the Internet, which is much lower in price than its foreign counterpart, and the quality is almost identical.
When to change your pillow
VAZ 2110 backdrop
Factors that indicate the need to replace the wing cushions:
- extraneous sound during movement, the irradiation of which can even spread to the body of the vases;
- traces of hardening or cracking of the rubber cushion are visible, as well as if it is separated from its metal base;
- there is a pronounced increasing vibration that has not previously been observed;
- in case of unsatisfactory backlash length, etc.
Functionality check
Before you start replacing the pillows, it is recommended to check whether they have really lost their functionality. It is likely that vibrations can occur for other reasons.
To check you need to do the following operations:
- Place the car on stands;
- Place a jack under the oil pan, placing a block or board at the same time;
- Raise the engine until the mounts relieve the weight of the engine;
- Check the pillows;
- Inspect them for cracks;
- Check if they come off easily from the metal backing;
- Has the original hardness of the material been preserved, or has it become too elastic;
- If no visual defects are found, check the play between the plates and the frame;
- Treat the cushions with protective compounds, return the engine to its place;
- Sometimes, to return the supports with cushions to normal operation, it is enough to tighten the fastening nuts.
If the check shows that the pillows have already served their purpose, then the only correct solution is to replace them. These elements are not subject to restoration.
Replacing the wing cushion with your own hands
Begin:
- we place the car on the overpass;
- we go into the salon;
- remove the cover and the plastic handle on top;
- Use special pliers (platypus) to remove the retaining ring;
- we climb under the car;
- The rocker pad is held in place by four nuts that need to be unscrewed.
Note. It is worth noting that the standard ring can be removed very easily, because it has special lugs. If you bought a new imported set of backstage cushions, then there is another locking ring without ears, but it is better not to install it, but to use the old one.
After replacement, defects in the backstage support are not detected in most cases. Assembly is carried out strictly in the reverse order: a support is installed, which is secured with nuts. It is necessary to consolidate the above listed theoretical aspects of replacing the backstage cushion with the help of photo and video materials. Instructions on how to do the replacement yourself will be most effective if you have some visual reinforcement. In most cases, the price of the issue is small, but everything depends directly on the quality of the part itself. You can also find out about replacing the short-stroke rocker on our website.
Replacement
The replacement procedure should not cause much difficulty for those who have independently repaired their car more than once, especially the suspension and chassis.
If you have no experience, then we recommend contacting a service station. Only proven and reliable.
Dismantling works
Replacement has its own nuances depending on the pillows for each engine in question. We will separately talk about the repair of 8 and 16 valve engines.
Design and purpose of tens engine mounts
Over the years, a lot of practical experience has been accumulated on the topic of how to change engine mounts on a VAZ 2110, and videos of repair processes can also be found in abundance. But not enough people pay attention to the details of the details. And, it must be said, in vain, since such knowledge will help you accurately find the source of vibrations and purchase the appropriate spare part for repairs.
The main purpose of the engine support is to reduce the level of vibration transmitted from the unit to the car body. The rubber-metal structure consists of an iron base with a thick rubber cushion. The device has proven itself well, as it is quite durable and the money costs mere trifles.
Eight-valve Lada 2110 engines are attached to the body at 3 points: right, left and rear. The side supports connect the body to the engine block through through holes. The rear support is attached with 2 bolts to the gearbox, and 2 nuts to the body. The significance of this damper part is very significant - it prevents longitudinal vibrations of the internal combustion engine during braking and acceleration.

Replacing the supports is, naturally, more troublesome than adjusting the clutch , but if you have the skills and a small set of tools, it is completely doable without the help of car service professionals. A jack and a set of wrenches will be useful for the work; you also need to take WD-40 fluid in advance - it may be that the connecting elements are covered with rust. To perform a cycle of work, you need an inspection hole or a lift.
Replacing the right damper support
Before this, how to change the right engine mount of a VAZ 2110 car following the video example, you should install wheel chocks and also disconnect the “negative” terminal from the battery. The upcoming process is carried out according to the following scheme:
- Loosen the generator fasteners with a 13mm wrench and remove the belt drive.
- Loosen the tensioner bolt.
- Jack up the right side of the car.
- Using a 15mm wrench, unscrew the nut securing the support.
- Using a 13mm wrench, unscrew the two bolts securing the support to the bracket.
- Using a 17mm socket, unscrew the three bolts securing the bracket to the right side member.
- Remove the bracket and install the new support in reverse order.
Replacing the left damper support
The procedure for changing the engine damper on the left side of the car is carried out in the following order:
- Remove the car crankcase protection.
- Place a jack under the car in the area of the gearbox, slide a wooden beam and lift the car, removing the load from the support.
- Using a 15mm socket and a wrench, unscrew the support pin fasteners.
Replacing the rear damper mount
Reading how to change the rear engine mounts on a VAZ 2110 and watching the video is half the battle. It is important to strictly adhere to the order of repair work:
- Remove the engine crankcase protection.
- Using a 17mm socket, unscrew the two nuts securing the support to the car body.
- Using two 19mm wrenches, unscrew the two bolts securing the gearbox and remove the support.
- Clamp the removed bracket in a vice and use a 19mm wrench to unscrew the bolt securing the support.
- Remove the bolt and install the new rubber mount into the bracket.
- The unit is assembled in reverse order while maintaining the perpendicularity of the mating planes.
Based on practical experience, it can be argued that the process of replacing the damper supports of the unit on the “ten” is not particularly difficult. Usually, after repair, vibrations disappear, but if everything remains unchanged, then the solution to the problem may lie in a different plane. It makes sense then to find a problem in the suspension or in the CV joint components.
