2. Move the jack under the lower arm.
Attention: the jack will perceive the reaction of the torsion bar, carefully center the jack relative to the lower arm.
3. Remove the height adjustment nut.

4. In accordance with Figure 5.3, release the torsion tube.
5. Remove the locking ring of the torsion bar (see fig. 5.3).
6. Remove the cover from the front end of the torsion bar and with light blows of the hammer, move the torsion shaft forward until the locking ring exits, while you can shake the lower arm. Remove the snap ring.
7. Mark the relative position of the torsion shaft and torsion tube.
8. Knock out the torsion shaft from the lower arm back and remove it from the pipe. Use a wooden or plastic mallet.
9. Remove the pipe and its gland.
10. Inspect the torsion bar. Wear of teeth and cracks along the shaft are unacceptable - replace the torsion bar.
Installation
11. Lubricate the mounting surfaces of the torsion bar tube and oil seal with grease, install the oil seal and tube to the steering and suspension coupler.
12. Lubricate the splines of the torsion shaft and push it into the pipe in the direction from the center to the edge of the car.
13. Align the shaft and pipe position marks.
14. Push the torsion shaft into the splines of the lower arm just enough to install the locking ring. Keep in mind that the output of the splines of the shaft must match the protrusion of the splined bushing of the lower arm.
15. Install the circlip and front end cover of the torsion shaft.
16. Install the snap ring on the other side of the shaft.
17. Pack the bushing cover with grease and slide it onto the torque shaft.
18. Establish holders of a pipe of a torsion bar. Tighten the bolts.
19. Lubricate the height adjustment nut and hand-tighten.
20. Install the wheels and wheel nuts, lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel nuts. Adjust vehicle height. Vehicle height adjustment.
21. Fill the fuel tank. Check tire pressure, adjust if necessary.
22. Park the vehicle on level ground.
23. Rock the car up and down for "landings" pendants.
24. Measure the distance between the top of the front wheel arch and the ground on both sides of the vehicle, and record the result.

25. Compare the measurement result with the data specifications. If the result is out of range, adjust the vehicle height.
26. To increase the height of the car, tighten the adjusting nut, to reduce it, unscrew it.
Note: One full turn of the adjusting nut changes the height by approximately 5mm.
27. After the first adjustment, roll the car back and forth about half a length, "plant" suspension and re-measure.
28. Repeat the operation until the measured height is within the desired range.
