2. Apply 0.5-1.0 g of consistent grease to the entire spline surface A of the right axle shaft. After applying the grease, remove it from 2-3 spline grooves and from the groove of the retaining ring B so that air can freely escape from the inner cavity of the joint.

3. Clean the surfaces where the axle shaft contacts the differential and blow it with compressed air. Insert the drive end A of the axle shaft into the differential B or intermediate shaft C until the installation ring D is installed in the appropriate groove.
4. Install the driven shaft of the axle shaft A into the hub of the front wheel B.
Install the ball joint shaft A into the hole in the lower control arm B. Remove any grease from the shaft threads before tightening the ball joint nut. Tighten the new crown nut C to the recommended torque, then tighten it until the slot in the crown of the nut aligns with the hole in the ball joint shaft. Do not align the holes by loosening the nut.

6. Install the new cotter pin D into the hole in the ball joint axle and bend it as shown in the figure.
7. Connect stabilizer link A to stabilizer B.
8. Install the new central nut A and tighten it. After tightening, secure the nut from spontaneous rotation on the shaft by deforming its flange B using a drift opposite the shaft groove.
9. Clean the working surfaces of the brake disc and the front wheel. Secure the wheel and tighten the mounting nuts.
10. Turn the front wheel manually and check that there is a gap between the axle shaft and the surrounding parts.
11. Tighten the flange bolt and self-locking nut to the position where the shock absorber is compressed under the vehicle's own weight.
12. Refill the transmission fluid into the gearbox.
13. Check the front wheel alignment angles and adjust them if necessary.
