(as shown in the figure)

(II). Assembling Rear Axle Assembly

1. Fixing metal rubber bearer: press the metal

rubber bearer 2 into the axle, and keep pressing

it until the edge reaches solid axle.

2. Connect two rear axle brackets with bolt 13

through the center hole in metal rubber bearer,

standard tightening torque of nut is 60Nm;

(as shown in the figure)

3. Assemble brake, brake drum and half rear axle;

4. Connect left and right brake line assemblies

respectively to left and right brake assembly,

and fix them onto rear axle with pipe fixing

clips, meanwhile connect leaf spring with rear

brake hose through rear axle brackets.

Tightening torque: 13-19Nm; (as shown in the figure)

5. Fix the hand brake dragline with bracket

clamp and the brake dragline lock thread attached

on rear axle.

(II). Assembling Rear Shock Absorber Assembly (refer to figure: Rear Shock

Absorber Assembly)

1. Fit rear spring lower disk 15 on rear shock absorber assembly 13 and press to fix it

with a force of 9.5-10KN, and then fit lower disk bracket and press to fit with a force

of 2-3KN after mounting the lower disc bearing pad;

2. Fit in turn rear helical spring 14 and protection cap 12 on rear shock absorber

piston rod, and then the assembled rear bumper 10 and dustcover 11;

3. Compress rear helical spring 14 to 280-300mm, and then fix locating ring 8, rear

spring upper pad 9, rear spring upper base 7, bearing sleeve 6 and rubber bearing

block II 5, then tighten thin hexagon nut 4 to specified torque (15Nm);

(III) Assembling Shock Absorber Spring

1). As shown in the figure below, hole a must be aligned with the bush of connecting

sleeve 2 when assembling rear spring lower disk, otherwise spring disk 1 will collide

with tire under the extreme running condition.

2) Pay attention to the position of rear spring upper pad when assembling, as shown

in the figure.

III. Installing Rear Shock Absorber Assembly (refer to Figure: Rear

Shock Absorber Assembly)

1. Fit the rear shock absorber assembly upward from

the bottom of vehicle body to extrude the piston

rod into passenger compartment through

shock absorber base;

2. Fit in turn bowl washer 17, rubber bearing block 18

and bearer disk 19 on piston rod in the passenger

compartment, and then tighten thin hexagon nut 20

to 25Nm.

3. Lift the car, insert the shock absorber connecting

sleeve in the corresponding position in the rear

axle assembly, and tighten with bolt 21 and nut 22

to specified torque (70Nm).

(As shown in the figure)

4. Fix tire and lay down the car to tighten thin

hexagon nut 20 to specified torque (25Nm).

5. Fit on bowl washer 3, and tighten thin hexagon

nut 1 to specified torque (15Nm).

6. Assemble rear shock absorber upper cover 2 to

prevent dusts and sundries from entering and

causing abnormal wearing of piston rod.
