If the backlash exceeds the maximum value, replace the front
wheel hub bearing.
(5) Check the front wheel hub deviation
Using a dial indicator, check the deviation of the surface of the
wheel hub outside the hub bolt.

Chapter 5 Front Suspension SystemSection 1 Front Suspension SystemDescription on front suspension structureThis model uses strut swing arm independent suspension with stabilizer bar.
The shock absorber upper end is flexibly connected to the body through the shock absorber mounting seat, the
lower end is rigidly connected to the steering knuckle. The coil spring encloses the shock absorber (coil spring
geometrical axial line does not coincide with that of the shock absorber piston rod), and is supported between the
upper and lower spring seats.
Both ends of the stabilizer bar are connected to the shock absorber through the strut bar ball pin and the intermediate
part is supported on the lower front body by the rubber bushing and support frame.
The front cushion sleeves the shock absorber piston rod head to restrict the wheel jump limit position and plays
the role of buffer.
The thrust ball bearing, installed between the spring upper seat and the shock absorber mount, is used for the
relative rotation upon steering of the shock absorber rigidly connected to the steering knuckle to the shock absorber
mount flexibly connected to the body.
"L" type lower swing arm is secured to the lower engine compartment with the press plate through elastic rubber
bushing and hinge, and its outer end is connected to the steering knuckle through the ball stud pin which is attached
to the lower swing arm by 3 high intension bolts. The ball stud pin can be removed and replaced when it is worn.
The ball seat material is saturated polyester containing oil, featured in comparatively high intensity and wearability
and good self-lubrication performance. Proper amount of grease has been added during the assembly and there is
no need for additional filling during the normal operation.See the table for the front suspension technical parametersFront Suspension SystemFront Suspension System4-38Item

These tests must be completed within 5s, so as to prevent coil from burning out.
1. Electromagnetic switch testElectric System & Accessory-Starting and Charging System5-1 (1) As shown in the figure, use wire to connect starter.
(2) As shown in the figure, connect electromagnetic switch with
storage battery.
(3) Disconnect exciting coil from binding post A.
(4) Check whether clutch pinion moves outboard.
If clutch pinion does not move, replace electromagnetic switch.
(5) As shown above, connect battery, disconnect positive
pole (+) of battery from binding post, disengage
clutch pinion.
(6) Check whether clutch pinion returns.
If clutch pinion does not return, replace electromagnetic switch.
2. Starter no-load test
(1)Connect field coil and binding post.
(2) As shown in the figure, connect ammeter and battery
to starter.
(3) When check whether clutch pinion moves outwards, starter
should rotate slowly and smoothly.
(4) Check whether current reading of ammeter is normal or not.

Chapter 4 Light SystemSection 1 Light System IntroductionI. Composition Light system comprises external illumination and signal system and internal illumination system.
The function of the external illumination and signal system is to illuminate the road ahead and send signals
to other vehicles.
The internal illumination system provides internal illumination for driver and passengers.II. Precaution for service1. Precaution when repairing electrical equipments
Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Precaution when replacing a headlamp bulb
(1) Before replacing a halogen bulb, turn the headlamp OFF to make it cool.
(2) When installing a new halogen bulb, do not touch the glass part of the bulb with bare hands.
(3) If there is oil stain on the surface of halogen bulb (headlamp and front fog lamp) when the lamps are
turned ON, its service life will be shortened.
(4) Halogen bulbs (headlamp and front fog lamp) have pressurized gas inside and require special handling.
They can explode if dropped to ground. The glass fragments will splash up.
(5) When replacing, make sure to use the bulbs with the same power, same model.
(6) After the bulb is installed, make the lamp holder tight.III. Bulb specificationsRemark: All bulbs are made by Philips Corp..Light System-

2. Area coverage
Scope of AM and FM broadcasting coverage area differs greatly.
Sometimes although AM broadcast may be received clearly, FM
binaural broadcasting cannot be received. Not only listening zone of
FM binaural broadcasting is small, but also static noise or other
cacophony (noise) tends to occur.
3. Receiving problem
Notes:
Besides static noise problem, there is also interference, multiplex
and attenuation. These problems are not caused by electric cacophony,
but the problem of radio wave itself.
(1) Interference
Besides static noise problem, AM broadcast tends to receive
other types of noise, especially at night. This is because ionosphere
reflects AM radio wave at night, these interference electric waves
interfere with signals from the same signal source while entering into
vehicle antenna directly, this kind of noise is called "interference".
(2) Multiplex
Noise caused by radio wave reflected from barrier is called
"multiplex". When radio signal emitted by broadcast antenna is
reflected by high buildings or high mountains, and disturbs directly
received other signals, multiplex phenomenon occurs.
(3) Attenuation
Since its frequency is higher than AM, FM wave is more easily
reflected by high buildings or high mountains. Therefore, FM signal
often disappears gradually, or when vehicle is blocked by barrier, it
cannot receive any signal, such phenomenon is called "attenuation".Audio System -Audio System Description5-38Chapter 5 Audio SystemSection 1 Audio System DescriptionDescription:
