The procedure for replacing the silent blocks of the rear beam on a VAZ 2110 car is usually carried out independently by the owner of the car. Repairs of this kind do not require special skills and experience, plus they are quite cheap.

Rear beam

Today we will talk about where exactly it is better to make a replacement, how to choose the right silent blocks, and also how to carry out the process itself in two ways.

Garage or service station

All car owners can be divided into two categories:

1. Those who carry out most of the repairs themselves in their garage, and only in emergency cases turn to a car service;
2. Those who prefer not to touch anything with their own hands, but completely entrust repairs and maintenance to the masters of service stations.

Each of them is right in their own way. Therefore, we have no right to reproach those who do not want to carry out repairs themselves. After all, garage and professional repair of silent blocks, like other components, has its advantages.

STO has the following advantages:

• A high-quality, responsible car service provides a guarantee for repairs performed;
• In the event of a repeated breakdown covered by the warranty, repairs will be carried out free of charge;
• Professionals are professionals; they have extensive experience and knowledge, which allows them to competently perform their work.

But first you need to find such a car service, which, alas, is not an easy matter. Many provide a guarantee, but when you re-apply, they do everything possible to prove that the breakdown does not comply with the terms of the guarantee. A banal trick.

Repairing your garage will provide the following advantages:

• Significant financial savings, since you only have to spend money on consumables;
• The quality of the work performed by a master is always in doubt if you do not know this person personally. So self-repair may be much better than at a service station;
• You purchase the silent block, and the master only installs it. Why pay money for work that you can do yourself?!;
• Guarantee that a new one will be installed instead of the old silent block. Questionable service stations can easily install an old, more or less usable silent block instead of the one you gave them. You know what the result is.

How to replace the silent block of the rear beam of VAZ cars

Hello dear readers of the blog RtiIvaz.ru. Today I want to talk about the silent block of the rear beam - the ease of replacement on VAZ cars when doing DIY repairs.

Silent blocks and various suspension parts from the factory are quite reliable and last a long time. Typically, their longevity depends on how you operate and maintain the car and usually last for 80-90 thousand kilometers. Salentblock find out what it is here.

Let's first look at the signs of wear on the silent blocks of the rear beam. When cornering, the car loses stability and uneven tire wear occurs. Or, when driving over potholes and bumps on the road, impacts appear on the body and an unpleasant creaking sound occurs in the rear of the car.

Unpleasant sounds when driving can also occur due to other malfunctions. Knocks can come from one place and be heard in another, especially as they move along they are heard in the rear of the body. Therefore, first you need a thorough diagnosis of the entire rear and front suspension: you will have to check the struts, bearings, supports, muffler, etc.

Having finally made sure that the rubber silent blocks are extremely worn out, we proceed to replacing them. Fortunately, compared to foreign cars, replacing the silent block of the rear suspension of VAZ “nine” or “ten” cars is distinguished by its simplicity and low cost.

To begin with, let’s buy rubber bushings “fungi”, that is, silent blocks for the rear beam in a car store. For VAZ 2108 cars; 2109; 21099 you need to purchase silent blocks with the VAZ design number 2108-2914054-10, and for VAZ 2110 cars; 2112; 2114; 2115 VAZ design number 2110-2914054 is prescribed.

It is difficult to distinguish these silent blocks of these cars from each other, because they are very similar, but different in outer diameter (see the difference in the photo). You will not be able to install silent blocks from the “nine” VAZ 2109 on the beam of the “tens” VAZ 2110, as they will dangle. But the rubber bushing from the “ten”, if you try, can be pressed into the “nine” beam.

Step-by-step replacement of rear beam silent blocks on VAZ 2108 vehicles; 2109; 21099; 2110; 2112; 2114; 2115:

• 1. Replacement of silent blocks should be carried out on an overpass, inspection pit or lift, installing the machine in a way accessible to you.
• 2. Remove the rear wheel so that it does not interfere.

• 3. On the left side, disconnect the rear brake pressure regulator rod from the beam (see photo number 1.) On the right side, remove the handbrake cable to the side (see photo number 2.)
• 4. Using a “19” wrench, unscrew the nut from the bolt securing the rear beam to the bracket (see number 3 in the photo)
• 5. We remove the fastening bolt with a hammer, and then knock it out with a wrench (see number 4 in the photo.)
• 6. Next, lift the car body with a jack and move the beam eye down
• 7. We insert a wooden block between the body and the beam
• 8. Using a hammer and a drift, knock out the rubber bushings of the rear beam
• 9. Having cleaned the seat from dirt and rust, generously lubricate it with a thick soap solution and also lubricate the rubber bushing itself
• 10. Using a tool, press in the bushing. If there is no device, then we hammer it in with a hammer, hitting the head of any suitable bolt inserted with a washer of larger diameter, but so that the washer fits tightly to the rubber
• 11. Then we pull out the wooden block
• 12. Using a jack, we lift the beam and put on our original fastening bolt, then we attach the nut
• 13. Having placed the rear wheel, lower the car
• 14. Open the trunk door, then sit down on the bumper and press the back of the car as far as possible with all our weight.
• 15. Tighten the silent block mounting bolts until they stop

Actually, the work itself doesn’t seem to be difficult if you have a puller. And if it is not there, what should you do then? Therefore, I am writing for those who repair a VAZ car with their own hands. There is no need to complicate the task if you don’t have a special remover. Listen to the advice of car mechanics: do not fool your head and knock out - hammer in the silent blocks on the beams with a hammer.

Why change silent blocks

Before you begin replacing the rear beam silent blocks on a VAZ 2110, you need to figure out why such a procedure is being carried out at all.

In fact, it is not always silent blocks that cause car problems. But there are situations in which repairs should be performed immediately.

1. When traveling, the tires begin to squeak. If the silent blocks are out of order, they cannot move at the same time as the wheels, they are inferior in rotation speed, which is why noise occurs.
2. Knocks are heard from the rear of the car.
3. The car is difficult to control, the rear end constantly skids, and it is difficult to take turns.
4. There is uneven wear on the rear tires; they lose their quality faster than the front tires.
5. In some cases, tires go flat even though there is no damage.

Without replacing the silent blocks, at one not-so-great moment this can lead to an accident. A serious argument, don’t you agree?!

Consequences of consumables malfunction

It should be noted that silent blocks and bushings are consumables.

Due to heavy loads, it is possible that the rubber part of the silent block may be pressed through, detached from the metal bushing, and the rubber itself may delaminate. As a result, they are no longer able to work properly.

This results in knocking from the suspension, the appearance of creaks, when driving, especially over uneven surfaces, the car can throw from side to side, and the more wear on the silent blocks, the stronger the tossing will be.

Also, due to worn silent blocks, the angles of the wheel position - camber and toe - change, because of which the car will no longer hold the road, it will begin to drift in any direction, the tires will quickly wear out due to incorrect angles.

So, the condition of all rubber elements of the car suspension must be constantly monitored, and if signs of malfunction appear, they must be promptly replaced.

With certain knowledge and the availability of tools, you can replace silent blocks yourself without contacting a service center.

It should be noted right away that even if damage to one or two silent blocks is detected, it is better to completely replace all rubber parts of the suspension, and not just the damaged ones.

Also, all elements are replaced immediately on the left and right sides of the car.

Selecting New Items

To replace and ensure reliable operation of the car, you need to purchase good silent blocks. Choosing them is not difficult if you know some nuances:

• For the VAZ 2110 model, elements with catalog number 2110 2914054 are suitable. They have the required outer diameter corresponding to this specific VAZ model;
• Do not try to purchase a silent block from a “nine” and install it on your “ten”. Nothing will come of such events, no matter what anyone says;
• Make sure of the quality of the products. Low-grade silent blocks have flooded the market, but their service life leaves much to be desired. Good parts are made from high quality materials that can withstand extreme loads and temperatures.

Why do the rear beam silent blocks fail?

During operation, the rubber part peels off from the metal bushing. The rubber of the parts itself, which is cast with metal bushings, must withstand enormous loads, but time destroys the rubber.

In addition, if the parts are installed skewed, or the quality of the ohms turns out to be low, which often happens, then the silent blocks can quickly fail. In addition, the following factors affect the durability of parts:

1. The main factor that affects the service life of obviously high-quality silent blocks is driving style. If you do not pay attention to holes and other irregularities, then they will be the first to suffer in the suspension.
2. Wheel alignment also affects the life of the hinges. If this is not done periodically, the wheel alignment angles will change, which will lead to incorrect operation of the suspension.
3. Rubber is not very durable, especially if oil and other technical liquids get on its surface. In these cases, the surface of the silent compounds becomes covered with cracks, which can lead to ruptures.

What to consider when replacing

The silent blocks of the VAZ-2108 and VAZ-2110 visually seem exactly the same, but in fact their mounting dimensions are different.

There are several secrets and recommendations, taking into account which you can achieve more durable operation of the rear suspension hinges:

1. You should not try to install silent blocks from the “nine” on a VAZ-2110. Although they are almost identical in appearance, the “nine” spare part is a couple of millimeters smaller. Therefore, setting this element to “ten” is unacceptable. But the opposite can be done by applying a little more effort when pressing.
2. Scheduled replacement of rubber suspension joints should be carried out no less than after 40–50,000 km.
3. If one silent block fails, it is better to change the others that are located next to it. This will save the owner from repeated repairs, the need for which may arise after several thousand km.

High-quality repair of the rear suspension on a VAZ-2110 depends on the skills of the car owner. At the same time, it is quite simple. It is enough to do it yourself once to acquire the necessary skills. In order for everything to work out right the first time, it is recommended to involve more experienced colleagues in the work for the first time.

Repairing the suspension yourself, or contacting a specialized service station is everyone’s personal choice. If you decide to entrust the work to specialists, it is better to control the entire process yourself, so that next time you can do everything yourself.

Replacement methods

We will tell you about two main ways to replace silent blocks on the rear beam of the “tens” , which can easily be used in a garage.

Which method to choose is up to you to decide. But before that, familiarize yourself with them in more detail.

First way

The method is not particularly difficult if you strictly follow the instructions. To begin with, we note that the silent block is located at the bottom of the car. Therefore, you will need a jack or inspection hole.

Defects

1. Raise the car with a jack or drive it into a viewing hole. The second option is more convenient, since this way the view of the bottom will be better. And it’s much more convenient to work standing up than lying under a car.
2. It is not necessary to completely remove the rear beam. When dismantling it, you will need to remove additional brake hoses, which takes a lot of time.
3. It is better to disconnect the sorcerer so as not to damage it during the repair process. But shoot carefully.
4. Now remove the nut with a 19mm wrench. You will have to make a serious effort, which is why some car owners call their comrades for help. If there are no assistants, pre-treat the thread with the almighty WD40 or plain water. This will allow the fastener to oxidize. Then clean it with a wire brush, which will make it easier to remove the element.
5. Using a crowbar, lower the beam down a little, but do not remove it completely.
6. There is an elastic band on the beam that should be cut off, otherwise it will interfere with the work process. Just keep in mind that if the rubber band is old, feel free to remove it. It is better to dismantle a good product by drilling a small hole.
7. Now the silent block is removed.
8. The new part is generously lubricated and pressed into its rightful place. Just do not use grease for lubrication, as this substance corrodes the part. The best lubrication option is regular soap or any available detergent.
9. Return the sorcerer to its place and tighten the beam.

Tools, accessories, consumables, pro tips

The work itself of replacing silent blocks is not difficult, but special tools may be needed to press out the hinges.

In total for work you will need:

The hinge fits very tightly into place, and to dismantle it, most likely, you will need a special puller. A necessary condition for high-quality replacement of hinges is their correct selection. Before you go to the store, you need to find out which silent blocks are most often installed on the BA2110, their serial number, size parameters, etc. Let us repeat, the hinge fits very tightly, and a discrepancy in size of just a few millimeters will result in the new silent block simply not being pressed in.

For this work, special pullers are used, with the help of which it is easy to remove the old part and press in the new one. Sometimes it happens that to replace the silent block you have to remove a suspension element, for example, a lever. In this case, the puller can be successfully replaced with a conventional bench vice. True, in this case it will be quite difficult to remove the silent block. Then you can simply burn it out with a blowtorch or over an open fire. Sometimes craftsmen cope with it using a sledgehammer and a metal punch.
