Replacing thrust bearings on a VAZ 2110. Step by step guide

Delicate driving rules or frequent replacement of thrust bearings on the VAZ 2110. Undoubtedly, this article will be relevant in our time, despite the fact that the model has been discontinued a long time ago, old women can be seen on the roads. The explanation is that in our country (and not only), not everyone can afford to buy foreign cars or domestic cars of a young age.

Concept and principle of operation

Replacing thrust bearings on a VAZ 2110 the process itself is not complicated, but requires the availability of tools and premises for the work. A slightly familiar driver knows that driving style and road quality are the first factors that can lead your car to both longevity and quick rest.

Daily commuting is the most damaging to A-pillars and bearings. They take the brunt of it all the time. If you delay or ignore a shock absorber leak or a bearing runout, then get ready for a more serious repair and for a long period, since one trouble does not come.

Replacement and installation algorithm

I will say right away that there are two proven ways of doing the work:

• For experienced drivers, without problems;
• For the inexperienced with a bunch of extra cash spending.

Let's look at both, and the owner himself will choose the right one. Let's start with the second.

So, you can change the thrust bearings without removing the lower mount of the rack, the so-called bolts. In this case, you do not need to go to a car service for measurements, which means you save time and money. That's the whole secret, everything else is carried out in the same way as in the second option. It's just that many young and inexperienced drivers do not know this at all.

Take note and don't be afraid. Now let's move on to the first option.
