In most cases, premature failure of the hinge and replacement of the CV joint with Kia models Sid, caused by the rupture of his protective cover. Water and dirt from the roadway enters the assembly, exerting an aggressive effect on the hinge parts, significantly reducing its service life.

Malfunction symptoms

  • Crunch when turning the steering wheel to extreme positions;
  • Push when starting the car and when picking up speed;
  • Noise while driving.

Replacement procedure

  • Loosen the hub nut
  • We are filming front wheel from the replacement side;
  • Completely unscrew and remove the nut;
  • We disconnect the steering tip from the steering knuckle and the stabilizer bar;
  • We disconnect the connection with the ball joint;
  • Unscrew completely wheel nut;
  • Remove the hub from the hinge slots.

Further, if it is only necessary to replace the outer CV joint, then we can replace it on the spot without removing the axle shaft from the gearbox. When replacing internal hinge Kia Sid, or both at once, dismantle the axle shaft, after draining the oil from the gearbox;

  • We dismantle the old hinges;
  • Having put grease in new products, we install hinges and protective covers;
  • We install the half shaft in place;
  • Pour oil into the gearbox;
  • We collect everything in the reverse order.

Ball joint replacement Kia Sid

Replacing a ball joint on a Kia Side is a long and difficult process, which requires almost complete disassembly of the suspension. It is extremely difficult to do this alone in a garage - not only a pit is needed here, but helpers, and if you want to save time and nerves, then it would be best to contact the workshop.

Signs of a bad ball joint are uneven tire wear, rumble when driving above 60 km / h and knock when driving on rough roads, as well as uneven tire wear. When these “symptoms” appear, it is better to consult a specialist.

Suspension Diagnostics Kia Sid

If your LED wobbles when braking and deviates slightly from the direction of travel, if knocks are heard in the suspension area while driving, high speed the wheels wiggle, and bumps are heard on an uneven road, then this may be the reason for diagnosing the suspension, as this indicates a malfunction. Additional "symptoms" of suspension problems are uneven or increased wear tires, long braking distances, wheel wobble and premature ABS activation when driving on rough roads.

Suspension diagnostics do not have to be postponed until difficulties in its operation begin, this can also be done during scheduled maintenance. The procedure will not take much time - the services for this have special high-tech equipment and qualified craftsmen. Diagnosis won't take long. Regular suspension checks will save you from unexpected problems and costly "repair surprises".

Replacing the anther Kia Sid

The warranty for Kia Sid anthers is 15 thousand km, but the service life can reach 50 thousand km. Although this detail seems minor at first glance, but if it is not given due attention, then cracks and gusts form on it. Ultimately, this can lead to a malfunction of the CV joint, and indeed the entire axle shaft, and hence to expensive repairs for their replacement.

As well as replacing the ball joint, replacing the anther is a long and laborious process, which has its own subtleties. If you want your suspension to work properly, then it is best to entrust this procedure to professionals.

Suspension arm replacement Kia Sid

Sid's rear suspension is equipped with four levers (three transverse one longitudinal) on each side, which give good car handling and a smooth ride. These parts are durable, but a sharp blow to the wheel, improper repair or replacement work, driving on a rocky road or hitting an obstacle can deform or knock them out of place.

Repair of the lever when it is deformed is impossible due to the difficulty of maintaining the correct geometry of the suspension - replacement is necessary here. A torn lever is an emergency breakdown, and in this case, you should immediately contact the service.

After replacing any of the levers, it is necessary to check and adjust the wheel alignment (make wheel alignment), which is possible only in the workshop.

When I studied the issue of replacing the suspension, I came across a very useful information on the Sid Club forum.
The topic is called "Suspension set"
Anyone who is puzzled by the replacement of racks / springs will be very useful to read! I will leave here excerpts related to the body of the ED. This thread also contains many other useful information, including on subsequent bodies.

Spring interchangeability table:

Remember such a fabulous story in which, despite the huge number of featherbeds, the main character does not sleep all night because of a tiny pea at the very bottom? The next morning she had the impression that the bed seemed to be wonderful, but she did not get enough sleep.

Approximately the same feeling would appear after each trip if such essential element called pendant. On the one hand, it seems to have reached the place, but now you know the way to the smallest pebble or pothole. Can you describe how the suspension works?

IN Soviet years almost any motorist was able to tell about her theoretical device, and also knew what type was on his car. Now, a large number of motorists prefer not to bother with their own repairs, that is, when there are difficulties with the car, they come to auto repair shops. Therefore, the device of his car knows well, if only one in four. Many will ask - why do you need to know about the device of the car, if there is an auto repairman. But then why do they teach about anatomy at school if there are doctors? The simplest answer would be - for the sake of interest and new knowledge. Let's look at how the back is arranged Kia suspension Sid universal.

What is the structure of the suspension?

Structurally, it is divided into the following parts:

  • guide element that defines the nature of the movement car wheels in relation to the body. Various levers can be used as guides, such as, for example, longitudinal or transverse, double and others;
  • elastic element. It is assumed that perceiving the load from irregularities pavement, it accumulates and transfers the received energy to the car body. These elements are divided into metal (spring, spring and torsion bar) and non-metallic (rubber, pneumatic, hydropneumatic and rubber);
  • extinguishing device. Designed to reduce the amplitude of body vibrations arising during the operation of the elastic element;
  • stabilizer longitudinal stability. By distributing the weight of the car on the wheels when cornering, it reduces the amount of its roll;
  • wheel support, perceiving forces from the wheel, redistributes them between other suspension elements;
  • fastening elements combine all of the above parts into a single whole. It can be a rigid bolted connection, using elastic elements (rubber-metal bushings or silent blocks) or a ball joint.

It is generally accepted that the suspension on a car can be either dependent or independent. The difference between them lies in the fact that in the case dependent suspension the wheels are connected by a rigid beam, that is, the rotation of one wheel is transferred to another. With an independent suspension, there is no connection between the wheels, that is, they can move freely in the transverse (relative to the body) plane. Of course, this is only the initial information and if you wish, you can find a lot of interesting things.

How is the suspension of the Kia cee'd station wagon

According to sources, the design of the rear suspension is made as an independent multi-link. What is meant by independent suspension we have already found out. It remains to be understood what a multi-link is.

It is easy to see in the figure that (at least) four levers are used to fasten the wheel hub and, thus, a high ride smoothness and better vehicle handling are achieved.

The front suspension is also independent, but using MacPherson struts in conjunction with a stabilizer roll stability. The purpose of the stabilizer should already be clear. Consider what a MacPherson strut is.

The figure shows that as the main element in its design, a suspension strut is used in conjunction with elastic element(spring), fastened with a swivel joint to the wing of the car.

Suspension upgrade

Having traveled on a standard suspension, many come to the conclusion that ground clearance too small and needs to be enlarged. The first thing to do is to install spacers on the Kia Sid station wagon. They can be installed both between the spring and the body of the car (in the case of MacPherson struts), and between the spring and the mounting cup of the body ( rear suspension). The second way is to install non-standard springs on the Kia Sid station wagon. Instead of the standard springs are placed with a large number of turns.

The table will help compare these methods.

The normal operation of the suspension and chassis parts guarantees a comfortable and safe movement on the roads common use. This article will discuss the process of replacing thrust bearings Kia Sid 2008, as well as the process of diagnosing a malfunction and assistance in the process of choosing spare parts.

This car is considered very reliable, and it was appreciated by many domestic motorists. For example, the support bearing on the Kia Sid is able to work 100 thousand kilometers without fail until it needs to be replaced. It is not difficult to carry out the repair procedure, the main thing is to follow the instructions correctly.

Thrust bearing Kia Sid 2008: diagnostics and signs of malfunction, causes

Korean pendant is very hardy. However, if there are certain factors, the Kia Ceed 2010 support bearing may fail much earlier. due date. This happens when:

  • careless driving bad roads;
  • moisture ingress into the element and washing out of the lubricant;
  • aggressive driving style;

Evidence that it's time to change the ball bearing support front shock absorber will become:

  • slow reaction of the car to turn the steering wheel;
  • vibrations on the steering wheel when making maneuvers;
  • audible knock thrust bearing;

Troubleshooting is simple:

  • it is necessary to open the hood and put your hand on the place of the upper attachment of the shock absorber support;
  • the assistant shakes the car or turns the steering wheel;
  • if you feel a beating or you feel the rolling of the balls, then you should start repairing;

Kia Ceed front suspension device

The following is a photo indicating the parts that will need to be removed to replace the thrust bearing on a Kia Sid 2011 (the assembly device is relevant for both 2008-2010 models and 2011-2013 cars).

  • 54648 - decorative cap;
  • 54559 - shock absorber rod mounting nut;
  • 1338CA - upper support mounts;
  • 54610 - shock absorber strut support;
  • 54630S - shock absorber spring;
  • 54633 - spring stop;
  • 54625V - top insulator;
  • 54626 - anther;
  • 54650V - lower spring cup;
  • 54660 - shock absorber;
  • 54645 - a bolt of fastening to a rotary fist;
  • 62618B - nut;
  • REF 50-517 - steering knuckle with a hub in which the wheel bearing is located;

When repairing, we will need to dismantle the entire assembly, and parts with article number 54610 are subject to replacement. However, if the troubleshooting revealed a malfunction of the anthers or poor performance of the shock absorber, the manufacturer recommends replacing the elements with new ones.

Dismantling the front shock absorber support bearing Kia Sid 2008

Before you get started, stock up essential tool. The list will include:

  • standard set of wrenches with removable heads. IN without fail you will need heads for 13, 17 and 19 mm;
  • car jack;
  • special couplers for springs;
  • screwdriver, VD-40 grease;

Now we proceed to remove the support bearing of the front strut Kia Sid 2008:

  1. We tear off the bolt of fastening of the wheel we need;
  2. We hang this wheel by putting the car on a jack. Additionally, it is worth fixing the remaining rollers with wheel chocks to ensure a stable position of the standing machine;
  3. We unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel;
  4. With a key of 13, we unscrew the plate holding the brake hoses;
  5. Using the 17 head, unscrew the stabilizer bar;
  1. Next, dismantle the steering knuckle mount;
  2. The lower part is disconnected, now we find it under the hood top mount rack supports and remove the decorative cap;
  1. With the 14th key, we unscrew the three bolts holding the upper part and remove the assembly for subsequent disassembly;

Replacing the support bearing Kia Ceed 2008-2011, 2012-present

Now you should disassemble the node into its components:

  1. First of all, we use special ties. We fix them on the springs so that they capture at least two turns;
  2. We tighten them until they stop pressing on the support;
  1. We unscrew the nut of the upper fastening;
  2. We remove the support with the KIA Sid 2013 support bearing integrated there.

It should be said that during repairs, the manufacturer recommends changing the front strut support bearing together with the support itself. However " craftsmen» learned how to remove the ball bearing itself from its seats.

Although this procedure is a cheaper alternative to a full-fledged service, it is highly undesirable from the point of view of the safety and reliability of the procedure itself. In addition, the manufacturer sells spare parts already assembled. Therefore, with one replacement of the Kia Ceed 2013 support bearing, you will have to look for an alternative in the form of non-original parts.

Replacing the support of the front pillar Kia Sid assembly

A better solution is the following procedure:

  1. Remove the entire front strut support;
  2. Install new part assembled;

Note:

If the troubleshooting revealed a malfunction of the shock absorber (oil leaks), then you should also purchase a new spare part.

  1. Reinstall the lower insulator;
  2. Put the spring on the stem;
  1. Mount the thrust bearing in its place;
  2. Put the nut on the stem and tighten it;
  1. Loosen the ties.

Replacing the support bearing Kia Sid 2010: assembly and installation

After the owner has changed the part to a new one, you can proceed with the installation:

  1. We start the upper part of the node in the engine compartment;
  2. We twist the three upper bolts;
  3. We put the decorative cover in place;
  4. Now we mount the lower part - we twist the mounts of the steering knuckle;
  5. We attach the stabilizer back;
  6. We fasten the plate with the brake hose;
  7. We install the wheel and fasten the mounting bolts;
  8. We mount a decorative cap;
  9. We lower the car from the jack;
  10. We check the correctness of the tightening torque before leaving on public roads.

Kia Sid strut support bearing: code, price, article

Today on the market there are many both original and non-original spare parts for Korean car. Price per support kia bearing Seed 2010 starts from 300 rubles for spare parts of dubious quality (Patron - 333 rubles, Fenox - 300 rubles, Dominant - 360 rubles) up to 950 rubles for Sachs models (900-940 rubles) or Lemforder (780 rubles).

However, when repairing, it is better to give preference original parts. Luckily, they are worth the money. For example, a support bearing for Kia Sid 2008, number 546121G010, is estimated at 770 rubles. Many drivers prefer the second part (also suitable for Rio No. 546122С000), which costs from 690 to 750 rubles.

  1. When replacing the support bearing of the front strut Kia Sid 2010, it is recommended to change the elements on both sides. In this case, the wear of the elements will be uniform, which can guarantee quality work pendants;
  2. If you are not sure about the quality of the lubricant, it does not hurt to add a few drops. engine oil directly into the new part - this will also facilitate installation;
  3. When assembling the assembly, it is advisable to use a special thread lock. This method will help to avoid spontaneous unscrewing of the fasteners;
  4. Some drivers put additional spacers on the front-wheel drive model. This helps to slightly increase the clearance of the car and make the suspension a little stiffer, which is a good solution for our roads.

When designing the Kia Sid chassis, the company's engineers decided to use the already well-known scheme. Therefore, the front half of the suspension system remained independent of the McPherson type. Such a suspension has earned its popularity due to the possession of several advantages:

  • compactness. Thanks to this, it becomes possible to place the engine transversely in the engine compartment;
  • simplicity of the device;
  • large stroke to prevent breakdowns.

Along with the advantages, there is also a disadvantage. It lies, oddly enough, in her constructive device, namely in the hinged mount of the rack. Such a mount allows a significant change in the camber of the wheels. That's why given type suspension is rarely used for sports cars.

Description of the construction scheme

The basis of a device of this type of lever-spring circuit will be a shock absorber telescopic strut. This part is required to perform two functions:

  • serve as a telescopic element for the guide mechanism;
  • serve as an element that reduces the frequency of vertical vibrations of the wheels relative to the body of the car.

Around each rack is placed a coil spring of a cylindrical type, a compression buffer and a protective cover.

The mounting scheme of the shock absorber to other parts of the car is as follows. Its top is in contact with the body through an intermediary in the face top support. Thus, due to the presence of the upper support, the suspension strut is able to take the load from the car body. In his lowest point The suspension strut is connected to the Kia cee'd front suspension arm with the help of a steering knuckle and a ball joint. Rounded fist perceives the forces coming from the wheel and redistributes them to other parts of the suspension. The task of the ball joint is to ensure the correct geometry of the rotation of the drive wheel.

The subframe, used as a bearing element of the Kia cee'd front suspension, is attached through rubber-metal cushions (silent blocks) to the car body using a pair of brackets. It should be noted that the use of silent blocks allows not only to reduce the noise of the suspension, but also to remove most of the vibrations. When making a sharp turn to the right or left, the center of mass shifts to the same side. As a result, the car body tilts and the wheels can lose contact with the road. This may cause the vehicle to roll over. To prevent this, the design of the Kia Sid suspension includes such an element as an anti-roll bar. Attached on one side to the subframe, it contacts the Kia Sid front suspension arms through the struts using rubber bushings. The wheel hubs in this scheme of the suspension device are fixed with the help of non-adjustable double row angular contact ball bearings.

Existing deficiencies

Along with the already listed advantages, the suspension also has disadvantages.

  1. Big move. Perhaps this is good for comfort, but at the same time it reduces handling.
  2. When driving on bad roads, the process of rapid destruction of the attachment points of the shock absorber struts to the mudguard begins.
  3. One-piece suspension strut design. When it wears out, you will have to replace the entire rack as a whole.
  4. Poor sound insulation from road noise.
  5. Poor pitch compensation.

Because of these shortcomings, they try not to put McPherson suspension on luxury cars. But for budget class cars, its pros outweigh the cons.
