If your car makes strange noises from the rear axle when starting off or driving on rough roads, this indicates that the jet thrust has failed. It should be repaired. Why is it so, because at first glance it is easier to buy a new spare part and replace it without any problems? Of course, you can go this way, but you need to take into account that the cost of this spare part is comparable to the price of a complete torque rod repair kit. And why pay more if all the other details are in perfect order? That is why today we will look at how jet thrust changes (2110 VAZ is taken as an example) on models of cars of the tenth family.

What tools are needed for this?

To work, you will need a 19 wrench (it is advisable to prepare two), a screwdriver, a steel rod for knocking out bolts when removing this part, as well as tools for pressing / pressing bushings.

So, let's look at how jet thrust changes at VAZ. First of all, we need to unscrew the bolts and remove (in extreme cases, knock out with a steel rod) the fixing nuts. Next, dismantle the jet thrust itself.

It is also worth noting that during dismantling, difficulties may arise when removing the rod. It often happens that on the one hand it falls out by itself, and on the other hand it can only be removed with a hammer. After that, you need to unscrew the rubber bushing (using a screwdriver), and then clean the inside of the rod. It is best to clean it with a knife.

Next, you need to press the rubber bushing into the rod itself. It is important to remember that before this process, the spare part must first be lubricated with soapy water. It is not recommended to use engine oil and similar liquids, including gasoline, as a lubricant, since the sleeve often cannot withstand such stress and simply loses its properties. By treating this part with similar materials, you will simply shorten its life.

After pressing the rubber bushing, we perform a similar process with a metal part. It should also be treated with soapy water. And you can shove it only when the jet thrust is in a special vise. A similar process is carried out with the rear part.

That's it, at this stage the repair process is completed. Moreover, not only Ladovskaya jet thrust can be repaired this way. "Kalina", "five" and "six" can also be sorted out according to this principle.

Helpful advice

Many motorists, when repairing jet thrust, lubricate the mounting bolts with nigrol. This action prevents corrosion of the nuts and, if necessary,they can be removed without any problems. If during the repair you do not lubricate the fasteners, then in this case the jet thrust will be inaccessible to you, and it will be possible to remove it only with a thread, cutting everything off with a grinder. Therefore, love your car and always monitor its technical condition. Be sure that he will thank you with reliable and uninterrupted work. Good luck on the road!
