Replacing the silent blocks of the rear beam of a VAZ 2110

How to press out a silent block?

The technology is no different from the location of the rubber-metal seal

It doesn’t matter whether it’s replacing the front silent blocks of a VAZ-2110, front control arms or a stabilizer bar. As we said earlier, pressing is done with a special puller or using a vice

You can use the “old-fashioned” method. To do this, the old silent block is set on fire and after a few seconds it is extinguished. This way it will soften - it is much easier to get such an element. Another way is to use a soap solution. You can use regular dish detergent or liquid soap. The place where the product comes into contact with the lever will become slippery, and the part will easily come out.

Replacing silent blocks

If you do not want to spend extra time on manufacturing, purchase the device at any specialized store. The rear wheels must be secured using shoes specially adapted for this procedure or ordinary bricks. This must be done because the car, raised with a jack, can jump off it and crush you.

They must be knocked out with strong blows of the hammer on the chisel. They pop out of the grooves with ease after the first successful hit. In order to obtain greater sliding ability, first clean the old socket. After this, all parts are moistened with a soap solution, and the new silent block is pressed into place of the old one using the pressing method. Please note: after you press in, there should be no play at all, otherwise the repair of the front beam will be in vain.

In modern cars, to reduce the rigidity of the connection between suspension parts, rubber-metal hinges (silent blocks) are used. The operating principle of these elastic elements is based on torsion and vibration inside their attachment points to reduce the level of vibration transmitted through the hinge.

Press-fitting

So, the worn element came out. How to install a new one? Don't set fire to it, like the old one? The new silent block is pressed in using a special tool. You can make it yourself. To do this, take a small pin (long pin), put a washer of the appropriate diameter and silent blocks on it. Then we string a piece of tube. The outer part of the rubber silent block will fit into it. A washer and nut are installed at the end of the tool. The latter, moving along the turns of the pin, will create the required pressure. On the other hand, the silent block will be held by the second washer. By smoothly twisting the element, you will successfully press the seal into the grooves of the lever or beam. There are often traces of rust inside the seat. It is recommended to eliminate it. This can be done using sandpaper. But a more effective way is a rust converter. This chemical perfectly corrodes corrosion, forming a zinc film on the surface.

Replacing the silent blocks of the lower arms of the VAZ 2110 - step-by-step instructions

1. We drive into a pit or lift the car on a lift, tear off the nuts on the wheel(s) on the side on which we are going to work. 2. Remove the engine protection, if any, and treat the nuts and bolts of the connections that need to be disassembled with penetrating liquid.

3. Unscrew the nuts securing the bolts of the front arms, as well as the nut of the stabilizer link mounting bolt and knock out the bolt.

4. Unscrew the bolts and nuts, thereby freeing the lever in which the silent blocks need to be replaced. There is nothing special to describe here, everything is definitely simple, unscrew the bolt or nut, if it doesn’t come off, spray it with WD or heat the soured (sticky) nut.

5. Pressing out old silent blocks is done using a special puller, which was mentioned above, or using a vice. I chose the first option. You can also remove old “silents” by burning it out; to do this, set the “silent” on fire and wait until it softens or burns completely.

6. Pressing out, regardless of which option you choose (a vice or a puller), is carried out according to the same principle: on one side, emphasis and pressure are placed on the silent block, and on the other, a cavity is created into which this silent block is squeezed out.

7. To press the silent block into the seat, you must first clean the seat from the remnants of the old “silent”, then you need to lubricate the hole and the silent block itself with a soap solution or, for example, some detergent (Gala, Fairy, liquid soap, etc.). d.).

8. Pressing in the silent block is carried out according to the following principle: we make such a “shish kebab”: we put a washer on the pin (long bolt), a new silent block, then we put on a lever into which we need to press, press this “silent” in, then we put on a piece of pipe into which it will fit the outer part of the silent block and again a washer so that it does not fall into the pipe. The final element of this “kebab” will be a nut, which will create pressure while moving along the turns.

9. Be careful, do not rush and watch how the pressing takes place; the silent block should go smoothly and stop only after its fixing collars come out a little from the seat. These collars will hold the “silent” in the socket; if you don’t tighten it enough or overtighten it, the service life of the product can be significantly reduced, moreover, problems may arise during assembly.

10. After pressing in the silent blocks, everything is assembled in the reverse order. Depending on what and how you disassembled, you may need to adjust the wheel alignment.

I hope step-by-step instructions and a detailed photo report on how to replace silent blocks on a VAZ 2110 will help you quickly and efficiently complete this job. Thank you for your attention, good luck with your DIY repairs. And remember the golden saying: “If you want something done well, do it yourself, with your own hands!”

Instructions for replacing silent blocks on a VAZ 2110

Translated from English, silent block means “quiet detail”. The main function of a silent block in a car is vibration isolation. It is used to attach suspension elements of any car. It is capable of withstanding forces up to 300 kN in the radial direction.

Structurally, the silent block consists of two metal bushings. They are connected to each other by a rubber gasket. The gasket is made by vulcanization, which ensures a reliable connection between rubber and metal. The rubber insert is called an elastomer. If it is made of high-quality rubber, then such a silent block has the best vibration insulation qualities.

Rear suspension

For the rear suspension, it is better to replace the silent blocks by removing the beam, although this can also be done directly on the car. The installation of the rear rubber bushings is identical to that on the front beam. Pressing out and installation is best done using a mounting device.

However, if it is not there, then the especially “stubborn” ones will be knocked out of the rear silent bars of the VAZ 2110 by holding the part in which they are located in a vice. A mandrel is used, sometimes even sawed.

Both rear silent blocks are oriented along the lever and pressed flush against the end of the eye.

How to replace silent blocks without removing the beam

Rear silent block VAZ 2110

The silent block is located at the bottom of the car. Even for the first time, you can easily replace silent blocks if you follow these instructions:

Raise the car with a jack.

Note: Place cardboard or an old blanket under the machine so you can easily work directly underneath it. This is not required if there is a special pit.

The beam does not need to be completely removed. After all, if you remove it, you will also need to remove the brake hoses. And this will take a lot of time. But it is better to unhook the brake sorcerer, since it may accidentally be broken during operation. And besides, it can interfere, since its dimensions are quite large. To remove it, you need to pull it, but this must be done as carefully as possible. Otherwise, you may “rip” it out, making it difficult to put back in.
You can unscrew the nut using a 19mm wrench. This is very difficult to do, so it’s better to call someone else to help. But if there is no assistant, then you will have to do everything yourself. To do this you need to press as hard as possible.

Note: it is advisable to spray the thread with water so that it oxidizes a little, and then clean it with a metal brush. This will make it easier to unscrew it.

Using a crowbar, you can lower the beam down, but do not remove it.

VAZ 2110 rear beam silent block and its replacement

You need to cut off the elastic band that is located on the beam, as it will also interfere. This should only be done if the rubber band is already old and not suitable for further use. Otherwise, you can not change it, but simply remove it. To make it easier to remove, you can drill a hole in it.
You need to lubricate the silent block and press it back.

Note: you cannot lubricate the silent block with grease, as it can corrode it. Therefore, it is better to lubricate it with soap or detergent.

Now insert the brake sorcerer back and screw the beam onto the bolt.

When should you change?

Usually, the driver will probably guess that the silent block has failed. If a replacement is needed, discomfort while driving will tell you about it. You can feel distinct “iron” impacts and noises in the suspension. But that's not all.

If urgent measures are not taken, the VAZ 2110’s fastenings and connections will break and play will appear. The wheel alignment angles will also suffer, which obviously will not lead to any good.

There are some symptoms to look out for that these rubber parts are worn out:

When driving, the tires on the wheels squeak. Not necessarily much. There shouldn't even be a slight squeak;
A knocking sound is heard in the wheel area. The point here is the poor rotation of the collapsing silent blocks;
As the silent block wears out, it first becomes covered with cracks and then completely falls apart. Here only the deaf can no longer hear the knocks.

Signs of wear on silent blocks on a VAZ-2110

If the silent block is completely “dead”, it can be seen with the naked eye.

In addition, the failure of silencers significantly affects the handling of the car. But in any case, you can’t do without diagnostics. Only this procedure will help you find out exactly which elements of the front suspension need to be replaced. Diagnostics can be carried out either independently or at a service station.

If you neglect to replace the front silent blocks, then soon the various connecting elements of the suspension will begin to collapse. But the main thing is that the wheel alignment angles will change, which will negatively affect traffic safety.

New and old silent blocks.

There are characteristic signs by which you can determine that it is the silent blocks of the front suspension arms that need to be replaced:

Rubber squeaks when driving are the first sign of wear on these parts. Moreover, the loudness of the squeak is directly related to wear. If you hear a loud noise, it means you need to urgently carry out diagnostics.
A characteristic knocking sound is heard in the area of the front wheels. This indicates that the silent blocks have worn out and are poorly secured. To avoid their complete destruction, replacement is necessary.
Any cracks on the surface of the silent elements are a reason to replace them. After some time, ruptures will form from the cracks, which will lead to the destruction of the element.

Destroyed parts will immediately manifest themselves with characteristic metallic knocks and clanging sounds in the front suspension.

Should I change it myself or go to a service station?

The front suspension of the VAZ, the silent blocks we need are located on the lever at number 3.

Some owners of the VAZ-2110 do not know for sure that they can cope with replacing the silent blocks of the front levers on their own; they prefer to contact a service station. In fact, even inexperienced car owners can replace these elements, the main thing is that they have the necessary set of tools for the job.

Puller

Silent block remover.

It’s good when you have a friend at the service station who can give you this key for the duration of the repair. Otherwise, you will have to either buy it or make it yourself. If you have a welding machine and a grinder, then this is easy to do. On the Internet you can find various drawings of homemade pullers. The tool itself is quite simple, it consists of a foot about 22 cm long, washers and tubes.

It is advisable to change two silent blocks at once. One of them is located in the upper front control arm, the second in the lower one. You can limit yourself to replacing only one part, but it is better to notice both, which will permanently eliminate the problems associated with this fracture of the front suspension. If the second part does not have a single crack, it can be left.

Broken

Recording method

Some novice drivers, of whom there are quite a lot of VAZ-2110 owners, believe that when repairing the front suspension, you should first of all pay attention to the levers, beams and shock absorbers. Such inconspicuous and simple details as rubber silent blocks are often simply ignored

Nevertheless, it is these parts that ensure a reliable connection between the suspension arms.

Although silent blocks are not a consumable material, rubber tends to break down over time. Severe operating conditions, especially on roads with poor quality surfaces, also affect these parts. Failure of the silent block can provoke friction between the metal parts of the suspension, and their failure

Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of these rubber suspension parts

Diagnostics of silent blocks

In order to check the condition of the front beam silent blocks, you can proceed in two ways:

The easiest way to diagnose the suspension is at a service station. Although some unscrupulous craftsmen may “discover” many problems, in the hope of getting more money for repairs.
An experienced driver only needs to drive the car for several kilometers, listening to how the front suspension works, to understand what the problem is.

When listening to the suspension work, you need to pay attention to the following nuances:

While driving, you can hear a characteristic squeaking sound of rubber. These sounds may be barely audible, but their presence most often indicates wear of the silent blocks. In this case, the car is driven into a pit, and the rubber parts are checked for tears or cracks. If a silent block with a crack can still serve for some time, then the torn part should be replaced immediately.
If characteristic metallic knocks appear in the area of the front suspension, you need to drive the car to the inspection hole as quickly as possible. As a rule, this indicates maximum wear of the rubber suspension parts.

Before you begin the process of replacing suspension parts with your own hands, you need to prepare a place and a set of tools. A garage with a spacious inspection pit is ideal as a place. As for tools, to replace you will need:

Set of wrenches and sockets with ratchet.
Special puller for pressing out silent blocks. You can either buy this specific tool or ask your garage mechanic friends to borrow it while you work.
VD-40 or analogues.
Soap solution.

If you cannot get a puller, you can use available equipment. This can be done by a tube of suitable diameter with washers and a vice.

Replacement process

If replacing rubber suspension parts is new to the car owner, it may immediately seem like a very time-consuming and complicated procedure. Often, at the inspection stage, inexperienced VAZ-2110 owners decide that they won’t be able to do anything on their own. In fact, the replacement process is quite simple. If you do this once, changing any silent blocks in the future will be easy and simple.

Replacement occurs according to the following algorithm:

First you need to raise the front wheel using a jack. It is advisable to use a hydraulic jack, and place wheel chocks under the rear wheels on both sides. It is advisable to duplicate the jack with a support. This way the car will definitely not jump off and crush its owner.
We remove the wheel.
Next you need to unscrew and remove the wheel.
At this moment, you can also check the silent blocks that are located in the levers. If they are loose, then you need to replace them too.
The front support is knocked out. Before doing this, unscrew the nut that holds it in place. The blow should be accurate, but not strong.
Unscrew the saber nut.
After this, you can remove the upper arm. To do this you need to unscrew the bolt.
Having removed the saber, we get free access to the silent block itself.
After these procedures, you can knock out the silent blocks themselves. A chisel and hammer are used for this. As a rule, they come out easily, but in rare cases you need to use WD-40.
It will be easier to knock out the parts if you trim them.
Now you need to install the new part. To do this you will need a pressing tool. In order for this process to go smoothly, it is recommended to clean the socket from rust and lubricate it and the part with a soapy solution.
Before pressing, generously lubricate the parts with soapy water.

Examination

After the work is completed, there should be no play, otherwise the suspension will cause many problems in the future. Then everything is put together in reverse order.

Replacing front suspension silent blocks on a VAZ 2110

Inexperienced car owners are tormented by doubts about the need to change parts themselves. Of course, this can be explained by a lack of skill. However, as experience shows, work carried out at a service station does not guarantee a high-quality result. In addition, this will entail quite noticeable financial costs. Therefore, it makes sense to try to replace the silent blocks on a VAZ 2110 yourself, using the help of numerous videos and more experienced comrades.

Replacing the silent blocks of the front levers of a VAZ 2110 with your own hands is done using a set of simple tools. But it is worth remembering that there are two similar elements on the front beam, the sequence of changing which is slightly different.

Replacing the upper silent block

To change you need to do the following:

Raise the car using a jack or lift. In the first case, there is a need for rigid fixation, so you need to turn on the handbrake and ensure that the wheels do not move.
Remove the wheel and also unscrew and dismantle the support. Most likely, there will be problems with unhindered extraction, so to speed up the process, you can lightly hit the bipod with a hammer, preferably through a soft insert or fabric.
After this, you can easily dismantle the upper arm.
There is a bolt on it that needs to be unscrewed and removed.
Next, the silent block itself is dismantled. It can be done using a hammer and chisel, with extreme precision and care so as not to damage other parts. In particularly difficult cases, you can drill it out using a drill.
Coat the new silent block with sealant and install it in the socket. In this case, you can use the old silent block to create a soft layer that will help maintain the integrity of the new part during installation.

Axial play can be eliminated either by completely replacing the post, or by tightening additional washers on both sides. The first method - replacing the front struts on a VAZ 2110 - can even be done with your own hands, but this often does not help due to the low quality of the parts and their high cost. When using the second option, it is possible to reduce the space for the silent block. This will require manual reduction, which will shorten the service life. Each method has its drawbacks; when choosing, you need to focus on the degree of wear.

Replacing the lower silent block

The procedure is a little more complicated than the previous one, but it will also be feasible for the car owner.

Remove the stabilizer struts - this will ensure the mobility of the lever.
Unscrew all retaining nuts and remove them.
Remove the lower silent blocks and install new ones in the same sequence as the upper ones.
A feature of the replacement is the need to carry out work with a loaded vehicle. Otherwise, the installation will not proceed correctly, and the parts will soon have to be changed again.

As it becomes clear even from the description of the process, replacing the front silent blocks of a VAZ 2110 with your own hands will take quite a bit of time and will be quite feasible. If you lack the desire or technical capabilities, it makes sense to contact a service station. When choosing it, you need to be confident in the quality of the work being carried out, since the silent block is one of the most important parts that ensures high-quality vehicle control and the safety of all passengers and the driver.

Replacement of silent blocks of the rear beam of a VAZ-2110

The VAZ of the tenth family is quite easy to repair in the garage with your own hands. Therefore, if you notice the yaw of the rear of the car, extraneous dull, ringing sounds or squeaks, then it’s time to start replacing the silent blocks. It is advisable to carry out all work on a flat horizontal surface above the inspection hole in your garage. Many people manage to change the hinges on the jack in the field, but this is less convenient and takes more time. As for the choice of silent blocks, there are several options:

rubber ones - have a low cost and can be bought at almost any auto store;
polyurethane ones are more expensive, but their service life is much longer.

It is better to give preference to the latter, although regardless of the choice, the technological process does not change. The first step is to put and jack up the rear of the car - and you can safely proceed.

Replacing front silent blocks on a VAZ 2110

Often, beginners prefer to contact a car service to replace the silent blocks of the front control arms. And it’s completely in vain, because car repair shops charge quite a large amount for the service. Here it is necessary to emphasize that service stations do not always perform work at the proper level.

To carry out repairs, the motorist will need a special puller.

This tool is quite expensive and is required in exceptional cases. Therefore, it is advisable to borrow it from a familiar service station employee. There are many recommendations, instructions and even videos on the Internet that allow you to make the puller in question with your own hands. If there is free time, the motorist can make it using 2 tubes, washers and a special foot.

If you need to replace the silent blocks of the front levers of the VAZ 2110 , then you need to know that the beam design has two elements.

One silent block is located in the upper arm, and the second is located in the lower arm. Therefore, we will focus on replacing each element.

Tips for replacing and operating VAZ 2110 silent blocks

Sometimes, when replacing silent blocks on a VAZ 2110, they try to install a silent block from a VAZ 2109. Despite the external similarity (you can hardly tell the difference by eye), the dimensions of the silent block of the rear beam of a VAZ 2110 are a couple of millimeters larger, therefore the hinge from the “nine” will dangle in the mount. But from the “ten” the rubber bushing, if you try, can be pressed into the VAZ 2109 beam.

Rear silent blocks must be replaced every 50,000 km. after all, they are the least durable products compared to other rubber beam bushings.
Even if one silent block fails, the other one should be changed, because if you replace only the non-working one, the remaining one will “knock” after it, because its resource was already running out.

Simultaneous replacement of all hinges contributes not only to the uniform consumption of their own resource, but also of the entire rear suspension, including the rear struts and brakes.

It is worth noting that the success of repairs to replace silent blocks depends on the qualifications of the car owner, the availability of the necessary special tools for removal, and experience in the operations performed.

To replace the front arm silent blocks on VAZ 2110 cars you will need:

lubricant or liquid soap (can be replaced with detergent or soapy water);
wrenches (both socket and socket) for 24, 17 and 19;
ratchet with a head for 24, 17 and 19;
chisel and hammer;
penetrating fluid WD-40;
a universal cup puller or a piece of pipe whose diameter allows free entry of the silent block;
metal brush;
knife and screwdriver (with a blunt end);
inspection hole;
jack;
new silent blocks for VAZ 2110.

By the way, the price for rear silent blocks from VAZ with article number 21100291405400 will be 140 rubles per piece, and its polyurethane analogue from the manufacturer VTR with article number LADA0401RP is 460 rubles.

The price is indicated for spring 2020 in Moscow and the region.

Where to change silent blocks at home or at a service station?

As a rule, replacing rear beam silent blocks is a simple process. In practice, even a novice car enthusiast, if he knows some basics, can cope with the job. What are the advantages of self-repair? - There are several of them:

First of all, you save money. All you need is a little time, new silent blocks and a tool;
secondly, there is no guarantee that a good master will come across. There are cases when service station workers deliberately do poor quality work so that the client returns for a new repair;
thirdly, it is still necessary to buy new parts. It turns out that only the installation of silent blocks of the rear beam is paid for. There is no point in overpaying if you can do everything yourself;
fourthly, where are the guarantees that the master will actually supply the silent block you purchased and will not replace it with a used product.

Features of choosing silent blocks

Before you start work, decide how many silent blocks in the rear beam you will change (on one or both sides), and which products you will give preference to.

For the VAZ-2110, you must select products with numbers - 2110-2914054. Also, do not forget to read the site’s materials on replacing the silent blocks of the front control arms.

The main feature of such silent blocks is their uniquely suitable diameter. If you purchase a part for a VAZ 2109 and try to “slap” it into the “ten” range, then nothing will come of it.

The second important point is quality. Try not to save money. Otherwise, after some time you will need to do repairs again. Isn’t it better to do everything with certainty and using high-quality parts?!

Troubleshooting silent block

Silent blocks of various shapes and types are used in the design of any car. But their main task remains unchanged. They provide reliable fastening of the suspension elements, while providing a low level of vibration when driving. Silent blocks are pressed into the front suspension arms. They are also in the rear suspension.

If the silent blocks are heavily worn, this manifests itself as follows:

loud noise is heard when driving;
the car yaws to the sides when moving;
shocks are felt that are transmitted from the car’s suspension.

When these signs appear, it is necessary to replace the silent blocks. On a VAZ 2110, wear of the front parts can affect the successful alignment. If it is impossible to set the wheel alignment, this is a signal to replace the front silent suspension blocks of the VAZ 2110.

Front suspension

For the front suspension, silent blocks are provided: front beam, upper, lower arm.

Replacement for parts of the front upper arm of the VAZ 2110 occurs as follows:

You need to jack up and secure the car;
Remove the front wheel;
Unscrew and knock out the support. To do this, hit the bipod with a hammer, turning the wheel out;
Once the support is knocked out, it becomes possible to remove the upper front control arm. To do this, unscrew a long bolt from the side. At the same time they look at the axial play. If it is palpable, replacement may be warranted;
Removing the silent tape is quite simple using a chisel and a hammer. The main thing is to accurately calculate the impact in order to avoid damage to other parts. Sometimes very “stubborn” silent blocks have to be drilled out and only then knocked out;
You can press in a new silent block by pressing it into the socket using a smaller bushing until it sits securely there.

Replacing the silent blocks of the front lower control arms of a VAZ 2110 is a more difficult task; to complete it, you will need:

Remove the stabilizer so that the lever can be moved;
Unscrew the nuts holding the silents;
Remove the rubber bushings (same as in the case of the upper arm);
Press in new ones, and then be sure to fix them in the loaded state of the VAZ 2110.

Replacing silent blocks on the front beam

Once you have changed this extremely important part of the front suspension, you will understand that this work does not have to be entrusted to professionals; it is quite possible to carry out the repair yourself. To do this, you need to have a special puller, or make one using two pieces of pipe with washers welded to them. If you don’t understand how to properly make a simple puller, you can either buy it or ask experienced motorists, they probably have it.

On the VAZ 2110, silent blocks are replaced in the following order:

We “hang” the front wheel using a jack. Be sure to place clamps on both sides under the rear wheels (special shoes or just stones) so that the car does not come off the jack and the beams do not crush you;
Remove the jacked wheel;
Check to see if the silent blocks are loose in the beam arm. If they are loose, then that too needs to be repaired;
Knock out the upper support: first unscrew its nut, turn out the wheel and hit it accurately, but not too hard, on the bipod. This way the support will pop out;
Remove the upper arm. To do this, unscrew the long bolt of the lever (it is located on top);
Now you have access to silent blocks. They need to be knocked out with a chisel, hitting them with a hammer. They usually pop out easily on a VAZ 2110, even after one well-aimed blow;
You need to put a new one in place of the old silent block. This is done by pressing: using a smaller sleeve, the size of the skirt, the larger one is pressed into the lever. For greater sliding ability, you need to clean the old socket, and then wet all parts with soapy water.

After pressing, there should be no play, otherwise the front suspension will still cause you trouble.

Replacing the silent blocks of the Opel rear beam

As an example, let’s take a car of the Astra N model. The rear suspension is beam type with wishbones. It is reliable and easy to maintain. The beam is attached to the car body through the same silent blocks that we will be changing. There is nothing complicated here.

There are two silent blocks in total. To replace them we will need to remove the rear beam. To do this, put the rear of the car on a jack, remove the wheels and put up supports. We disconnect the ABS sensors, calipers, hoses and everything else that might interfere with us. There are three bolts on each side that secure the beam to the body. We unscrew them and disconnect the mounting brackets. After this, we can replace the silent blocks. How we press them out doesn’t really matter, since we don’t need them in the future. You can use a hammer

But it is advisable to install them carefully using a special puller. After that we put everything back together in reverse order.

Replacing the lower arm silent block

Every owner of a dozen can dismantle and install a new part. To do this you will need to do the following:

remove the stabilizer. Thus, you can move the lever to the sides; unscrewing the nuts that hold the silent block;
dismantling the silent block. To remove the part you will need to perform the same operations as described above (the process of dismantling the upper arm silent);
then the new parts are pressed in;
It is important to take into account that you need to fix new parts of the lower arm when the vehicle is fully loaded. Ignoring this requirement will lead to the fact that after a short period of time the product will fail again.

The work of replacing silent blocks cannot be called a difficult task. If you use the Tens operating manual, read all the points in the instructions, and also carefully watch the video materials, then the procedure can be completed without outside help.

If the motorist does not have free time or desire, then silent blocks can be replaced at almost any car service center.

The only caveat is that the VAZ-2110 should only be trusted by a trusted technician.

Considering that some service station employees are negligent in performing their work and, moreover, use various schemes to deceive customers, many motorists prefer to do the work themselves.

Failed silent blocks are a problem that owners of domestic cars encounter quite often. The procedure for replacing the silent blocks of the front levers of a VAZ 21010 is simple at first glance, but this impression is deceptive. There are a number of nuances in it that the car owner should remember. We will talk about how to change silent blocks yourself in this article.

Let's sum it up

Original silent blocks can withstand approximately 100-200 thousand kilometers. But if you have to constantly drive on bumpy roads, then it is recommended not to skimp on hinges and install the original. Analogues are, of course, good, but they almost never work as well as the original ones, which is their drawback.

Replacing silent blocks can be done even with a minimal set of tools. Without a doubt, the work is quite labor-intensive, especially when it comes to the rear beam of the car, but it is worth it. At service stations, they can charge up to 3 thousand rubles for replacing one hinge, depending on the make of the car. In this case we are talking about budget class cars. Therefore, it is better to carry out such repair work yourself.
