Suspension bracket of back wheels and back bridge
There are two options of a design of a back suspension bracket for Frontera. The car to the middle of 1995 of release has a rigid axis on flat springs and hydraulic shock-absorbers. On later models the back suspension bracket with four cross-section levers and screw springs and gas-filled shock-absorbers was entered.
The description of old model of a suspension bracket here is not provided. The description of the new suspension bracket having more difficult design below is given.
Longitudinal levers of a suspension bracket are executed from pipes. Short, located in the center over a differential case the lever, serves for perception of the loadings arising in the course of braking and dispersal. Lateral fastening is carried out by means of draft of the cross-section lever, the so-called cross-section jet bar fixed by one end behind on the right to the bridge, and other end at the left to the chassis.
The suspension bracket has the stabilizer of cross-section stability established on rubber plugs before the bridge and connected with the bridge by connecting bars with spherical hinges.
Levers and cross-section jet bar have the rubber plugs possessing the minimum friction that provides free moving of a suspension bracket at car arrival on various roughnesses of the road. The bridge and a suspension bracket are shown on an illustration.

Two various driveshafts are applied to a drive of the back bridge. At three-door cars the driveshaft whole. At cars with the increased base (5 doors) the driveshaft, two-piece, having an intermediate support is applied.
Besides, there is a difference in a design of the back brake mechanism. Drum-type and disk brakes that influences performance of some works are applied.
At performance of repair work it is necessary to take into consideration distinction in a design of a back suspension bracket. If in the text there are no corresponding instructions, works for both executions of a suspension bracket are carried out equally.
At works on a back suspension bracket it is necessary to be guided by the instructions provided in the beginning of the section "Suspension bracket of forward wheels". It is worth to remember about need of reliable fixing of the car.
REMOVAL AND CARTER BRIDGE INSTALLATION
In the description provided below it is necessary to distinguish cars with a suspension bracket on flat springs and a suspension bracket with screw springs. Previously it is necessary to find out, what type of the car at you.
Back part of the car lift and establish on supports. Unscrew bolts of fastening and remove both wheels.

Installation
At installation of the bridge keep in mind the following:
Check a condition of step-ladders. Step-ladders after their removal "disperse". Therefore it is necessary to check, whether step-ladder cores enter into openings on the bridge. If is not present, one core of a step-ladder is clamped in a vice, and the second is carefully turned in.
Can happen that at installation of the new bridge it is necessary to transfer a brake hose and the pipeline, and also cables of a drive of the parking brake from the old bridge.
| PERFORMANCE ORDER |

| 2. Check, that the center bolt of springs entered into the corresponding openings of the bridge. |
| 3. Insert from above step-ladders. |
|
|
4. From below establish and fix bolts of a lining of step-ladders. The basic pin of the shock-absorber on a step-ladder should be turned inside, as shown. |
| 5. Screw four nuts and evenly cross-wise press out them. |
| |
6. Fix the shock-absorber from below. The arrangement of details of fastening is shown on an illustration. |
| 7. Do not forget to establish a spring washer. |
| 8. Nuts tighten the moment of 40 Nanometers. |
| 9. Establish the buffer. |
| 10. Bolts of fastening tighten the moment of 42 Nanometers. |
| 11. Fix a hose of ventilation of the bridge. |
| 12. Connect flanges of the driveshaft and a leading gear wheel of the main transfer according to marking and insert new bolts. Old bolts are not established. |
| 13. Nuts tighten the moment of 75 Nanometers. |
| 14. Establish connecting drafts of a regulator of pressure of a brake, having put a washer and a spring washer. |
| 15. The Koronchaty nut tighten by hand. |
| 16. Yet шплинтуйте. |
| 17. Fix a brake hose on a square and put a spring clip. Watch the correct provision of a hose. |
| 18. Screw and tighten a cap nut of the brake pipeline. |
|
|
19. Fix cables of a drive of the parking brake according to an illustration lock plates on the chassis. |
| 20. Lower the car on wheels and evenly cross-wise tighten nuts of fastening of step-ladders of springs the moment of 68 Nanometers. |
| 21. Tighten a koronchaty nut of drafts of a regulator of pressure of a brake the moment of 13 Nanometers and зашплинтуйте. |
| 22. In summary remove air from brake system as it is described in Chapter 9. |
| 23. Turn out a stopper from the bridge and check oil level. If necessary add oil. If oil merged from the bridge, it is necessary to fill in it again. |

Installation
Installation of the bridge is carried out in sequence, return to removal. Thus it is necessary to mean the following:
Can happen that at installation of the new bridge it is necessary to transfer brake hoses and pipelines, and also cables of a drive of the parking brake from the old bridge.
The assembly elements having a rubber covering, should not be exposed to influence of lubricants. It is impossible to hold also lubricants near the specified places.
| PERFORMANCE ORDER |
| 1. Bolts and nuts of fastening of all assembly elements having a rubber covering, at first tighten by hand. |
