race and observe whether it runs normally. 

----Apply the lubricating grease on the hub spline 

and the bearing neck, and then press the hub 
into the bearing. 

 

 

----Tighten three M6 bolts to fix the dust plate 

with the tightening torque of 10N·m. 

----Use the fuzz-free cloth to clean the working 

surface of the brake disc. If there is oil stain 
on the surface, clean it with ethanol. And 
then install the brake disc. 

----Rotate the brake disc and observe whether 

there is lock or abnormal noise. 

 

 

 

OVERHAUL OF THE LOWER CONTROL 
ARM 

Check the status of damage, crack and bend of 
the control arm. 

Replace the ball joint and the rubber cover of the 
lower control arm if they loose or wear. 

 

Replace the front housing of the lower control 
arm 

----Press out the front housing of the lower 

control arm. (shown as the illustration) 

----Apply the lubricating grease before installing 

the front housing of the lower control arm. 

----Press in the front housing of the control arm. 

(shown as the illustration)

Replace the rear housing of the lower control 
arm 

----When pressing out the rear housing of the 

lower control arm, if the elastic housing 
locks due to rust, please cut away the rubber 
on outer circle, saw off the steel cover, and 
then press out the elastic housing. (shown as 
illustration) 

----The installing position of the elastic housing 

of control arm is shown as the illustration. 
The arrow B or C points at the upper pit on 
the lower control arm, and the kidney-shaped 
interspace on the housing (arrow A) points to 
the vehicle center. 

----Use the special purpose tools to press in the 

rear housing of the control arm.

REAR AXLE AND REAR SUSPENSION 

Longitudinal bracket rear axle and rigid axle suspension are employed in Chery. The wheels 
on both sides are connected with the vehicle body by an integrated rear axle. The metal 
rubber holder for the rear axle is a type of holder which the trace is adjustable. It is almost 
the rigid connection in longitude and can only deform in lateral which ensures that the rear 
axle cannot turn in axial direction. Therefore, the rear axle processes the function of 
preferable control of the vehicle stability at high speed.

Installation of the rear axle assy: 

----Installation of the metal rubber holder: 

press the metal rubber bush 2 into the 
axle body, and apply pressure till the 
edge of metal rubber bush reaches the 
solid axle. 

----Use the bolt for hole 13 of the metal 

rubber holder to connect the two rear axle 
brackets. The standard tightening torque 
of the nut is 60 N·m; (shown as the 
picture) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

----Install the braker, the brake drum and the 

axle shaft well; 

 

----Connect the left and the right brake pipe 

assy of the rear axle with the left and the 
right braker assy respectively, and then 
use the pipeline clip to fix them on the 
rear axle. Meanwhile, maintain the 
connection between the reed and the rear 
brake hose by the rear axle bracket. The 
tightening torque is 13-19 N·m; (shown 
as the picture) 

 

 

----Use the clip and the brake cable clip set on 

the rear axle to fix the hand brake cable. 
(shown as the picture)
