In previous developments of AvtoVAZ chassis It is the most vulnerable place car. In the new Lada Vesta, developers undertake to eliminate this problem. As the test results showed, indeed, the chassis of Lada Vesta was subjected to significant changes and improvements.

Two absolutely new components were added in the new car:

• Stretcher;
• L-shaped levers.

Subframe - force aggregatewhich serves as protection and increase body strength. Installation of this component contributes:

• Considerable increase in security;
• Increasing driving comfort;
• Increase body rigidity.

Some basic details of the chassis of Lada Vesta are mounted on the subframe: steering rail, main suspension nodes and engine. The location of these aggregates is significantly different from previous models.

L-shaped levers in Lade Vesta are analogues of saber-shaped levers that are present on models of priors and viburnum. Such levers have a triangular form that has the highest degree of rigidity among other geometric shapes. The components of the levers are made of high quality steel, and swivel fists From cast iron. Development has significant similarities with Renault, despite this, employees domestic plant They argue that they are authors of L-shaped levers on Lada Vesta.

Rear Pendant Suspension Lada Vesta

The rear suspension of Lada Vesta was borrowed in Renault Nissan in order to reduce the total financial costs for production. The rear suspension on the car is a transverse beam with spaced springs and drum-type brakes. Experts stopped their choice on the drum type due to low cost and long operation Components. In civil modes of movement drum brakes do not inferior by technical properties disk. In addition, in Lada Vesta, drum brakes are additionally protected from possible dirt and dust. Original rear suspension It is capable of listening without any deformations for about 120-150 thousand km of mileage.

The main differences of the structure of the front suspension of Lada Vesta in comparison with the previous models of VAZ

The front suspension is installed on the subframe of Lada Vesta. This location increases rigidity, improves management and reduces noise and vibration to a minimum. To improve controllability, the steering rail is installed at the bottom. Such an action made it possible to make an impact on the rotation of the wheels for the hub. AvtoVAZ developers have chosen a unification path: electrical option The steering amplifier was placed on the steering column, that is, it is not embedded in the steering mechanism, like the previous models of Lada. Raistaling has been subjected to stabilizer transverse stability. At the moment it has a completely different appearance and in addition to it, long racks were added.

Wheel Base Lada Vesta for any type of road surface

Wheelbase Lada Vesta sedan is 2570 mm. Farming I. rear wheels A little different: front - 1495 mm, rear - 1502 mm. As for the road lumen from Lada Vesta, it varies significantly, depending on the type of body:

• Sedan - 178 mm;
• Hatchback - 180 mm;
• Universal - 190 mm.

Given that permissible load ground clearance The sedan will be 170 mm. Wheels of Lada Vesta are practically no different from the previous development - priors. Such specifications allow you to easily move around the country roads, which is especially relevant for residents of rural settlements.

"Robot" in the role of a gearbox in Lade Vesta

As a gearbox in Lade Vesta, depending on the configuration was chosen by the manual transmission and robotic transmission (AMT). Such a transmission combines the principle of operation of the "automaton" and the MCPP. The main aspect in the matter of choice of this option is high reliability In operation and long-term resource of operation, if you compare it with the usual automatic transmission. The basis of AMT is the traditional MCPP VAZ, "Robot" was created together with the German specialists from ZF. As the tests of Lada Vesta showed, with a box of this type it is harder to move along the inclined road.

The production was considered the possibility of installing the counter-digit regime, but in the future it was abandoned due to low efficiency. A unique development in the Lada Vesta is the presence of a special sensor, which responds to overheating the unit. This function is absent from the "automaton", and "mechanics". According to the test results, it is known that such a transmission is ideal under domestic expensive. You can move with it without any problems both around the city and on the highway. In addition, it was replaced by some components of nodes to better. If you compare the "robot" with automatic transmission, then the first is significantly lower in price than the second, but at the same time according to the functionality and technical capabilities Not inferior.

The price of Lada Vesta in 2016 ranges from 514 to 650 thousand rubles, it all depends on the type of body and its configuration. Before purchasing, you can familiarize yourself with the internal structure of the cabin and external species Lada Vesta in photo and video.

Many specialists automotive sphere It is concerned about the presence of some shortcomings in the chassis part of the majority of models produced by AvtoVAZ. Such a situation alerted the manufacturer, and when developing his progressive model Lada Vesta, it tried to take into account the designated problems and take measures to eradicate, what features anterior suspension and rear suspension is. Some car owners are decided to hold tuning.

Front Suspension Lada Vesti

The desire for excellence and competitiveness served as an excuse for substantial refinement of Lada Vesta suspension, it is especially true for the front of the car, very often you can find tuning in this part. As a result, a subframe appeared in front, which was the innovation for models domestic producer. Also, the developers applied L-shaped levers. The subframe in the chassis appears as power elementwhich gives the body of rigidity and serves as a motor protection, the device that, at times, improved the car.

This approach made it possible to increase the level of safety of Lada Vesta and provide a car with good handling. Structurally, the front suspension is quite simple and provides convenience during repair and preventive work. Steering Reika From his usual location moved to the lower zone motor compartment. Such a transformation allowed to provide kinematic communication Steering thrust directly with a swivel fist.

Previous models of AvtoVAZ could not boast of this constructive solution. Also modernization affected the front levers that are own development Plant designers.

In the steering mechanism of Lada Vesta applied electric amplifier. Here constructive solution At its installation, it also does not have similarities with previous models "AvtoVAZ", because the device was found on the steering column.

Transverse stabilizer It was a little recycled. As a result of some of the constructive transformations of Torsion, the controllability has become significantly better. In older models, you can eliminate the faults yourself, having tuning.

Rear suspension of the domestic model of Vesta

Any manufacturer when developing its own models is committed to maximum unification of nodes. AvtoVAZ adheres to such a tendency, which is noticeable in the constructive aspects of Lada Vesta. The base of the scene suspension was borrowed from Renault Nissan. This is a transverse beam, a device with spaced springs.

Brake mechanisms of feed producer decided to leave the drum. This is caused market value Models that do not allow budget versions to get disk brakes. With non-aggressive driving, "drums" with sufficient efficiency coped with their "task". If you affect the body modification "Universal", then the manufacturer replaces the springs to the tougher options and in a different ways the entire suspension, which changes the controlability in comparison with the sedan.

About West Suspension Faults

Despite the substantial upgrading of the chassis in Lada Vesta, such an element as anterior suspension, or the rear suspension can challenge the owners with various breakdowns. The appearance of a malfunction is traditionally begins to be accompanied by tapping and screens, when the car overcomes the irregularities of the roadway. Here, the owner requires a maximum of attention necessary for the operational detection of breakage, followed by its elimination.

The stacks are often "responding" by the amortization racks. Checking shock absorbers can be performed independently. It should be done on the car just stopped when the liquid inside the housings of the racks has working temperature. To do this, you will need to shake any of the sides of the machine and watch the behavior of the body. The operation is done first on the front, and then on rear axis. If the body fluctuates in the vertical plane no more than two times, it means that the rack is proper. When this is not observed, then the shock absorber is recommended to replace.

Tip! During the diagnosis of suspension, adhere to well-known safety rules.

For a more detailed challenge check, you will need to hang the wheel with one side of the car. Here can be detected below the specified shortcomings.

1. If a brake pedal Not pressed, and with manual exposure to the wheel there is a tangible backlash, this indicates a malfunction of the hub bearing.
2. When the backlash is heard when exposed to levers or steering tips, then most likely came into disrepair ball hints Specified suspension elements, which also implies their replacement.
3. Depreciation racks We are subject to a detailed examination of the working surface for the absence of fluid leaks. When it appears, the rack (two) is recommended to replace.
4. The fixing elements of the stabilizer (racks and sleeves) are also inspecting on the absence of gaps of rubber components and anthers.
5. Noise and screenshots in front may be provoked by the absence of sufficient number Lubrication B. support bearings Racks.
6. In the scene suspension, noise effects can sometimes be eliminated by installing the washers under the rack. After such a manipulation between the rack and body support, the appearance of a gap is observed, which must be isolated in order to prevent moisture and dirt penetration.
7. In some cases, the silencer can be knocked. Here, "culprits" feature fastening components that also need to be lubricated or replaced.
8. Hub bear Lada Vesta can also begin to make noise and exercise backlash. This is caused by the absence or insufficient amount of lubricant. Since a structural bearing separator is closed, then the lubricant will not be replenished. Although the manufacturer guarantees the effectiveness of lubrication for the whole regulatory time The operation of the product, but in reality the situation can be completely different. When the presence of the specified shortcomings, the bearing is replaced. You can perform it yourself, if the owner has special tool (press, puller, etc.) and has experience.

Important! If the car is posted by a jack, then during repair procedures, it is necessary to put suitable backups under the body for safety purposes.

1. The lower sleeves of shock absorbers in the rear suspension (in the photo) are also capable of critical wear of the knocks.
2. The movement in the country area is fraught with ingestion of the brake drum of garbage (stones), which provokes an unpleasant sound effect. Over time, these artifacts themselves fall out, but there are no cases when the drumming is required to remove them.

Important! If levers and steering tips (also traction) were subjected in the front suspension, then after the repair event, it is necessary to immediately adjust the angles of the wheels. If this procedure is neglected, the front tire protectors will be subject to uneven wear, and manageability will deteriorate significantly.

Attention! Manifest itself with knocks in the suspension Lada Vesta is capable of such an element as a manual cable brake mechanism. Here you will need to inspect its laying under the bottom and, if we have seen sections, take action on their garter.

Let's summarize

It is almost the entire list of faults that the rear suspension can receive, or the front, popular Lada Vesta. If you are overcome any questions, we recommend that you view this video on this topic:

When developing a car Lada Vesta, engineers managed to combine the design and principle of operation of the old suspension, with new developments. Such an engineering move, allowed to create an absolutely original platform for the front and rear suspension, with higher running qualities.

Front suspension

The front suspension of Lada Vesta, received a fully independent design. Its amortization is achieved due to the installed telescopic racks, between the body and transverse pullfilled with gas and having a double action. Also, an additional effort and a special spring takes place, inside which this rack is installed. From above the spring, on the subframe, there is a cross-stability stabilizer, which adjusts the direction of the front wheels, when entering a hole or by road to irregularity, especially in turns.

By the way, it is worth paying special attention on installed subframes. For everyone previous models, The front suspension has not been equipped with this detail. The use of it on this model will increase the life of the car frame, almost 2 times.

Now, instead of a longitudinal lever with a stretch, used on the model 2108, a lever will be installed in the form of the letter "G". Thanks this changeThe front suspension will receive a smaller load when the car fluctuates on the irregularities.

Such cardinal changes in the suspension design, simply could not affect the size of the clearance. Now, instead of 160 mm familiar to AvtoVAZ, it is 175 mm. This will provide bEST PENEMENT, especially when driving on country roads or off-road.

Such anterior suspension was first applied to this model, and its test passed perfectly. Now, we can only hope for the use of this design on the subsequent models of Lada.

Rear suspension

Unlike the front suspension, the rear has a semi-dependent type. It is based on the installed torsion beam, manufactured by the joint efforts of Nissan and Renault concerns. Also, like on the front suspension, a gas-filled racks are installed behind, paired with springs. As practice shows, the service life of racks this type Higher, rather than standard, hydraulic.

Next, the rear suspension includes two hubs that are attached rear wheels. As a connecting element between the hubs and the torsion beam, special longitudinal levers serve, which suppress vibration and oscillation obtained from the wheels, without bringing it to the body, thereby, they provide the body and torsion beam longer operation.

Rear suspension springs are installed in special glasses located under the spars. This direction of the shock absorbers, made it possible to achieve a softer movement of the car, even with significant road irregularities.

Also, the rear suspension in this model is additionally reinforced by the transverse lever-stabilizer. Its installation has a positive effect on the car manageability, especially when entering high speed.

It is worth noting that all stabilizers were manufactured from special materialwhich used to be used in mechanical engineering in general, nor in domestic, nor in overseas. Such a step can provide a significant breakthrough for domestic production, With the prospect of application of this technology on foreign cars.

Performance features

The front and rear suspension model of Vesta, a number of special tests prepared by European specialists took place. So, the results of these tests have shown that such a suspension technology is almost the best of its kind, and it will easily ourselve in the near future.

Thanks to the changes made, the car has gained a wider range as back and the front, which has reflected quite positively on its manageability. By the way, it is worth noting that today, the installation of this type of suspension was made only on Vesta in the body of the sedan. But, in the future, the manufacturers of AvtoVAZ promise to release and Lada Vesta in the body of a wagon, with the same suspension.

Outcome

And the back and front suspension of Lada Vesta, suffered significant changes that have been very positively affected by the stability and handling of the car, both on the asphalt road and in the primer. When testing this suspension by car owners, it was sprinkled only positive reviews. So, soon, the Lada concern will be released for one level with foreign manufacturers.

Unlike its predecessors, the Vesti platform is completely original, rather than an improved modification of the VAZ "eight". This was announced on this yet at the model development stages.

IN this momentWhen the first "Vesti" has already come down from the conveyor, and hit all sorts of test drives automotive experts, It is possible to consider the features of its chassis in more detail.

Last settings and tests that were the suspension of Lada Vesta, occurred in the present winter in the Spanish IDIADA polygon, after which the car acquired the optimal combination of comfort, manageability and safety. As a result, we have the opportunity to evaluate the results of automotive professionals.

Front suspension Lada Vesta

This part of the suspension is absolutely not similar to the other Lada models with front-wheel drive. It is fundamentally different from all the AvtoVAZ cars manufactured by the concern.

The main feature is the lack of familiar stretchings of the suspension, which designers replaced with full-fledged levers with a ball finger. Suspension of the Vesta Lada is attached to the subframe with reinforced rubber-metal hinges. Type of racks - common on foreign cars Classic MacPherson.

The front suspension of Vesta is independent. Main elements:

Shock absorbing racks (gas-filled, double-sided)
Screw springs in the form of barrel
Pendant levers
Stabilizer transverse stability

In addition, the West suspension is attached to the subframe, which relies the engine support stretching. The remaining two motor mounting points are located on the spars. Having examined the suspension of Lada Vesta photo, you can see that the levers have a L-shaped form, and differ from a familiar to everyone "eight" lever.

Their advantage is that they have a Castor in 5 degrees and are able to withstand both longitudinal and transverse loads. This prolongs the service life of the details and increases comfort when driving. In addition to this, manufacturers used new swivel fists, which significantly improved the maneuverability and handling of the car.

Rear suspension

Lada Vesta The rear suspension of which was originally planned as an independent multi-dimensional, has a semi-dependent twisting beam, which is used in other models of Lada with front-wheel drive.

Engineers at the last moment decided to reduce the cost of the machine, and installed on Vesta this design.

The rear suspension of Lada Vesta consists of the following details:

Gas-filled bilateral shock absorbers
Longitudinal levers
Screw barrel-shaped springs

Rear suspension levers have an elastic connection with each other with a cross beam and stabilizer rod. This type of suspension is called semi-independent, with knitted levers. Served as a base for Lada Vesta suspension from car Renault. Zoo. The developers somewhat changed its size, extending the beam, and thoroughly reworked the design. Car shock absorbers placed in arches, and springs under spars.

Test suspension in real conditions

Innovations significantly improved car handling. The main difference between the suspension is an excellent combination of comfort, maneuverability and security. The car is perfectly responded to all the movements of the driver, and allows you to achieve maximum understanding.

Moving along a straight road, the driver clearly sensates the zero position of the steering wheel, and during turns, it can fully control the trajectory of entry. At the same time, during braking, increasing speed and other maneuvers, no jolts are felt in steering wheelAs it was in the previous VAZ models.

With an uneven road vibration from the body absolutely not transmitted to the steering wheel. He lies well in his hands, and does not break away from the hands even with a strong shaking. It provides security and confidence when driving, which also prove numerous test drives of the new car.

If under the hood of the car while ride suddenly something starts to knock or creak, then it's time to think seriously what is happening. Just nothing happens, any deviation from the normal operation of the equipment indicates a true or brewing problem.

Most often, the cause of the screens is the stabilizer bushing

The growing grinding of the front suspension of Lada Vesta especially causes anxiety, because it is concentrated, there are steering and brake system, the state of which should always correspond to the norm.

The front-wheel drive car, as in our case, is subject to the emergence of problems with the nasal part.

Suspension screenshots are Vesti disease!

Even new Vesta after a short work begin to creak.

Inspection of the front suspension.

The very first cause of malaise is considered The undermined design of polyurethane bushings of stabilizers which almost immediately begin to make groaning sounds when driving through plump bedtime policemen. In wet weather begins to moan constantly than heavily exhausted.

This trouble is corrected in several ways, radical and not very:

• Pillow replacement Analogues from Chevrolet Niva or other suitable foreign cars.
• Regular promial mastic places where polyurethane is touching metal.
• Wait When AvtoVAZ correlates the defect, inviting everyone to a hundred to replace.

Problem with stabilizer racks

Solve the problem with violins in the front suspension is removed by replacing the stabilizer bushings to polyurethane.

If, after executing one of the operations, the cross does not stop, then you can go further on the list.

What could be not so with stabilizers yet? The design has a rack that is attached to the shock absorber housing and the stabilizer itself. She has two fingers as an attachment. Without diagnostics, it will not be easy to figure out whether there is a breakdown in this node, but you can try.

Official opinion of AvtoVAZ

Racks stabilizer dealers change for free. But sometimes you have to boo!

The trouble with racks is not thorough because B. april 2017. official representatives AvtoVAZ reported that they knew that after only a few thousand kilometers of the mileage at Vesta, the knock and the screens of this particular node were already found. This important element Tested special load and prematurely wear out.

It was not said whether the malfunction was a production fault.

Replacing racks on Lada Vesta for free

Replacing the scripting elements at the dealer should be made free of charge. All questions are solved by a call on the hot line!

However, all car owners who throughout warranty period complain about the work of the racks, implement Full of their replacement in dealer Center is free.

It is noteworthy that we are not about the installation repair kit, and fully replacing the node.

So, if the warranty is over, it will have to try to solve the problem. The process of replacement is simple. After the inspection of the details captured, it will be possible to decide whether to change the entire mechanism or limit the remkomplekt.

Other reasons for squeaks in the front suspension

Lada Vesta others serious problemsexcept above listed, not observed.

The front suspension is designed reliably, according to the analogue of foreign brands, taking into account long use.

Often unnecessary symptops Cause brake calipers.

Known single casesSo that in time there are damage to the following types:

1. Require replace Silent Blocks Steering Levers , To shoot which is extremely uncomfortable.
2. Brake calipers can gradually begin tapping , replacing your fingertips this problem can solve.
3. Small the backlash appears in the fastening of cups of racks to the case associated with the wear of the thread of the fastening bolts.

conclusions

In addition to the listed factors, the time is playing a decisive role.

If an end to the resource of some units came, then they need to be replaced urgently, because one breakdown may entail others, the rotation will go all the mechanism.

If a little return to the screensions, then with a significant fatigue of the ball supports, the steering tip and the rail, the failure of the shock absorber, or its broken supports, may appear unnatural irritating sounds. Then it is best to go to the diagnosis, and then treat the problem.
