The domestic UAZ spring is almost universal for the Patriot, Hunter and Pickup models, as well as their modifications. The elements differ only in the number of sheets that affect the carrying capacity of the vehicle, as well as the difference in geometric dimensions. In this regard, it is quite possible to install four-leaf elements from Pickup and Cargo on Patriot and Hunter. The increase in carrying capacity in this case will be about two hundred kilograms. Consider the features of regular and modified parts.

Models with front spring suspension

UAZ spring of this type is produced by a metallurgical plant in Chusovoy. A distinctive feature of the CMP production element is the presence of a sticker and a brand on the tightening collar. The name of the manufacturer, the date of production of the part, as well as the stamp of the quality control department are displayed here.

Besides, each spring is marked with a label, since it is not always convenient to see the stigma. Among the additional information: barcode, spring number, mark of compliance with the GOST standard.

Boost

Often repair UAZ andhis tuning concerns shock-absorbing devices. The old direct springs on the Hunter can be changed to a reinforced sixteen-leaf counterpart. As practice shows, the regular elements of this assembly are not of high quality steel, they quickly deform and crack. Therefore, the modernization of the unit is justified.

After installing reinforced springs, the car will become much higher, the power reserve will increase. The car will become slightly stiffer, which is not a significant disadvantage since we are considering an SUV. But the driving performance and cross-country ability of the vehicle will noticeably please the owners of domestic jeeps. The following is a step by step guide for installing new items.

UAZ spring mounting

Installing a reinforced spring is not too difficult. Works are performed in the following order:

• First the back of the car is raised until the wheels start to hang over. Be sure to install a safety beam or support.
• Then the wheel is removed.
• Installation of an additional support under the bridge. A regular jack is quite suitable for this.
• The ladders and cups of the block are unscrewed.
• The shock-absorbing element is dismantled from the lower mount.
• The bridge is lowering.
• The old spring is being dismantled.
• Trying on a new element.
• The bridge lowers to a point that is optimal for installing a new part.
• The element is placed in bowls located on the frame, the hanging part is supported by a wooden block,which will not allow the spring to pop out until the final installation.
• A prepared new knot is mounted, fixed with stepladders, but not yet tightened to the stop.
• The bowls are placed at the same place of installation.
• The bridge is raised until the springs settle on the cushions.
• The wheel is beaded.
• Lower cups are twisting.

At this point, the repair of the UAZ in terms of replacing the springs can be considered ready. In order for the part to be installed to sit better in its place, it is advisable to load the rear of the car during work. After carrying out the work, check the car in action at low speed. If there is no discomfort or creaking, the upgrade was successful.

Finally

The parts under consideration are responsible for the behavior of the car on different types of soil. Unfortunately, domestic regular UAZ-469 springs are not of high quality steel. Therefore, many owners resort to replacing this node with a reinforced version, since the standard element often bursts and deforms on bumps and potholes. It is worth noting that most standard springs for Ulyanovsk SUVs are interchangeable, which makes it easier to repair and maintain the car.
