Spring UAZ. Regular and reinforced UAZ springs

The native 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 influencing the carrying capacity of the vehicle, as well as the difference in geometric dimensions. In this regard, four-sheet elements from the "Pickup" and "Cargo" is quite possible to establish on the "Patriot" and "Hunter". The increase in payload will be about two hundred kilograms. Let's consider features of regular and modified details.

Models with front suspension of spring type

Gain

Often repair of UAZ and its tuning concerns cushioning devices. The old spring springs on the "Hunter" can be changed to a reinforced sixteen sheet analog. As practice shows, the standard elements of this assembly do not differ in the high quality of steel, they quickly deform and crack. Consequently, the modernization of the block is justified.

After mounting the reinforced springs the machine will become much higher, the power reserve will increase. The car will become slightly stiffer, which is not a significant disadvantage, as we are considering an SUV. But the driving qualities and the passability of the vehicle will noticeably please the owners of domestic jeeps. The following is a step-by-step instruction for installing new items.

Fastening of spring UAZ

Installing a reinforced spring is not too difficult. Work is carried out in the following order:

• First, the rear of the car rises until the wheels start to hang. A safety beam or support is mandatory.
• Then the wheel is removed.
• An additional support under the bridge is being installed. It is quite suitable for this staff jack.
• Loosen ladders and cups of the block.
• The cushioning element is dismantled from the lower anchorage.
• The bridge is coming down.
• The old spring is dismantled.
• A new element is being used.
• The bridge is lowered to the point that is optimal for installing the new part.
• The element is placed in bowls located on the frame, the hanging part is supported by a wooden bar, which will not allow the spring to spring out until the final installation.
• Mounted prepared new unit, fixed with stepladder, but not yet tightened to the stop.
• The bowls are placed at the previous place of installation.
• The bridge rises, until the springs are settled on the pillows.
• The wheel is on.
• The lower cups are tightened.

This repair of UAZ in part of the replacement of springs can be considered ready. In order for the installed part to sit better, it is advisable to load the rear of the car when working. After the work, check the car in the case at low speed. If there is no discomfort and squeaking, the modernization was successful.

In conclusion

The parts considered are responsible for the behavior of the vehicle on different types of soils. Unfortunately, the native UAZ-469 spring springs are not distinguished by high quality steel. Therefore, many owners resort to replacing this node with an enhanced version, because on potholes and potholes the standard element often bursts and deforms. It should be noted that most standard springs for Ulyanovsk SUVs are interchangeable, which facilitates the repair and maintenance of the car.
