Replacement of the sail on the VAZ-2114: step-by-step instruction

The CV joint is deciphered, as a hinge of equal angular velocities. This mechanism is a ball bearing. From the usual, it differs in that it rotates across. The CV joint is responsible for transferring the torque from the transmission to the driving wheels. This hinge is arranged quite simply. But despite this, the element is important in the design of the car and you need to constantly monitor it. Motorists call the SHRUS a "grenade" for the shape of this bearing. From time to time, and also due to wear and tear, "grenades" fail. Let's look at how the CV joint is replaced on the VAZ-2114. This same manual is suitable for other cars from AvtoVAZ.

Malfunctions of CV joints

The main problem, because of which the angular velocity hinges wear out and become unusable - is the dust and dirt that gets inside the bearing. The element is equipped with anther. But often these protections are destroyed - be sure to monitor the condition of the anther. You can see it by looking under the car. Thus wheels are turned out against the stop in one of the parties. If grease, ruptures or cracks are found on the rubber cover, replacement of the anther of the internal SHRUS is required . If several times shake the drive shaft by hand, then it is possible to find out if there is a play in the mechanism. Another reason why the replacement of the CV joints on the VAZ-2114 may be required. This is the service life. Modern spare parts for Lada in the bulk are made in China and most often do not have high quality. Domestic spare parts are distinguished by a higher level, but sometimes there is a marriage. The destruction of the retaining ring is somewhat less common. Then from the hinge comes the axial shaft with sharp turns. This leads to damage, and after a while - to the complete failure of the parts. Symptoms of external hinge malfunctions are characteristic sounds, more often knocking and banging when cornering. This is relevant for the external CV joint. Symptoms of failure of internal joints are clicks and vibrations. When speed dials, they go to the car body. The outer SHRUS is most likely to fail. It works under more difficult conditions. The internal CV joint (VAZ-2115 including) is out of order and requires replacement much less often. The malfunction lies in the development of the separator at the contact points of the balls. In the cage they are installed with significant gaps. Therefore, if the wear of the separator is uniform, then this is not dangerous.

Methods of repair of the CV joint

There are three methods for restoring the hinge. The first is a complete replacement of the CV joint on the VAZ-2114 with the same new one. Thus they work at the SRT - even if the part can be restored, it still changes to a new one. The second method is to replace the separator with the bearings from the repair kits. And another permutation of the hinges of equal angular velocities is permissible. Repair kits for "Samara" of the second generation are on sale.

But if the necessary kit is not in the store, then it makes the repair of the joints impossible. And the part will have to be changed. Also note that in the repair kit there are no cups. Separately, they can not be obtained. And the third way. If the cup and clip are worn only on one side, then you can make the original move. In this case, the repair of the CV joints involves the replacement of the "grenades" from the left semi-axle to the right or vice versa. What does this give? The direction of rotation of the balls in the bearing changes, and they begin to work on the undisturbed areas. Minus such a recovery - the "grenades" in the process of exploitation will crunch if the machine is moving in the rear gear. The hinge on which the dust guard has ruptured is repairable only if water, dust and dirt have not managed to get into it. The bearing must be disassembled, the damaged anther removed and the interior cleaned with gasoline or kerosene. Next, replace the lubricant and install a new protective cover. At this repair is over.

Why change the CV joints

If during the inspection found damaged anthers, it is necessary to replace them. After all, otherwise, through cracks in the rubber, water and sand will get inside the part. Very soon, this abrasive mixture will disrupt the "grenade". When the car is moving on corners, the hinge of equal angular velocities can simply fall into two parts. After that, the car can no longer be operated. There is a significant risk that all the oil located there will flow out of the checkpoint. In order to avoid such trouble, it is necessary to change the anthers in a timely manner. How much does it cost to replace the CV joint on the VAZ-2114? The price of the service is 1000 rubles. As for the cost of spare parts, the outer CV joint for the VAZ-2114 costs about 1500 r. Depending on the manufacturer. Internal costs a little more expensive - within 2200 r.

Tool needed for replacement, preparatory work

Replacement of the CV joints on the VAZ-2114 will take about one hour. But it is necessary to prepare the necessary tool. You will need keys 17 and 19 for work. You also need to prepare a set of heads. In addition, you will need a balloon wrench, mounting blades, wrench, jack. Another preparation of the lubricant SHRUS-4, rags, pliers. For greater convenience, the car should be driven to a trestle or pit. The car is put on the parking brake or the transmission is turned on. To replace the CV joints on the VAZ-2114 was even more safe, under the wheels put special fixatives. In the car there are internal and external hinges of angular speeds. Both "grenades" are located on the drive shaft. The process of replacing both internal and external is no different.

Algorithm for removing the outer SHRUS

The first thing is to remove the engine and gearbox protection. This can be done by unscrewing the bolts from the front and the nuts from the rear. Then oil is drained from the transmission. It is enough to drain 1/3 of the entire volume of grease. Then, using a balloon key, the bolts holding the wheel are broken. Then turn off the nut by 30 to fix the outer SHRUS. The car is lifted on a jack and two screws on a nave are twisted by a key which keep a spherical support. With the help of mounting blades or mounts, the hub is shifted away from the jet thrust. Then, if you pull the bar, you can pull out the finger and the hinge of the angular velocities.

Dismantle the internal CV joint

To do this, open the hood and use a small mount to pull out the inner hinge from the gearbox. In order to do this, the mount is inserted between the "grenade" and the box. A sharp jerk pulls the mount in the direction of the transmission. As a result, the part will move.

Dismounting the drive shaft

Further they pass to the wheel arch and from there they take out the drive shaft, which already has an inner and outer hinge. With the help of pliers, the clamps that hold the dust guard are removed from the parts. If the latter is destroyed, then it is torn. Otherwise, you can simply move it to the center. If the cover is broken, an anther of the internal SHRUS needs to be replaced. These parts are sold separately and come complete with a spare part. To remove the hinge from the drive shaft, it is necessary to hammer the inside of the hammer. After a few blows, the part will fly off the shaft. The same operation must be done on the other side.

The replacement process

The replacement of the internal CV joint on the VAZ-2114 is performed as follows. Initially, the ring from the old hinge is removed from the drive shaft. Instead, it installs a part from the new kit and a new anther. "Grenade" is hammered onto the shaft with a hammer. Then the hinge is abundantly lubricated. The dust cover is securely fixed using clamps on the drive shaft and on the SHRUS itself. The outer joint changes in a similar way. Then, on the outer joint, tighten the nut and hammer the shaft back into the gearbox. The replacement was successful. Now it remains to collect everything in the reverse order.

About anthers

Their replacement is required much more often than the hinges themselves. The SHRUS resource is about 150 thousand km. Rubber products are, at best, no more than 30 thousand km. To replace the outer anther, the actuator must not be dismantled. But if you need to replace the internal CV joint on the VAZ-2114, you will have to dismantle the entire drive.
