Chery B11. Manual - part 115

 
Three. Check 
1. Check shock absorber 
Check if the shock absorber suffers oil 
leakage and replace if so; check the 
damp of the shock absorber and replace 
if unsatisfactory.  
Check if the thrust bearing is worn out, 
too noisy and stuck; check if the lower 
bracket of spring suffers any rupture or 
deformation; check if the limit block is 
damaged; check the suspension spring 
limit washer is worn out, cracked or 
deformed. Replace all defected parts.  
Note: follow the following instructions 
if the shock absorber is to be 
discarded. 
 
2. Discarding of shock absorber 
(1) Stretch the shock absorber pole as 
much as possible.  
(2) Drill to let out the gas inside the 
shock absorber cylinder.  
Drill one hole in the cylinder with a drill 
to let out the gas inside.  
 
Caution: the gas is not harmful; but 
do watch out for any possible flying 
scrap irons during drilling.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Four. Fixing and unfixing of shock strut, 
shock strut parts and/or springs 
1. If the assembly clamp can not be fixed 
onto the worktable, then fix it in a bench 
vice.  
2. Fix one jaw which fits the spring 
diameter onto the spring compressor. 
 
Unfixing steps:  
1. Release the spring compressor and 
then place the jaw between the top and 

bottom of the spring (as the arrow 
shows). 
2. Compress the spring until it is 
detached from the upper and lower 
spring brackets.  
3. Unfix the shock strut bracket together 
with the limit switch and washer from 
the connecting rod using a pair of ratchet 
spanners.  
4. Unfix the upper spring bracket that is 
incorporated with a shock pad 
5. Unfix the spring compressor that is 
incorporated with a spring and dust 
cover.  
6. Unfix the buffer. 
7. Check the unfixed components: 
1) Buffer 
2) Dust cover 
3) Shock spacer 
4) Shock strut bracket 
5) Upper spring bracket incorporated 
with a bearing and limit switch.  
 
 
 
8. If the old absorber needs replacement, 
then unfix the old absorber, unfix the 
wheel speed sensor wire harness bracket 
and fix it to the new shock absorber (if 
there is no wheel speed sensor wire 
harness bracket, then replace the shock 
absorber directly).  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Fixing steps:  
1. Fix the new shock absorber into the 
clamping apparatus.  
 
2. If it is necessary to replace the old 
spring, then release the spring and take it 
out of the spring compressor.  
 
3. Fix the new spring into the spring 
compressor with one turn of coil left on 

top and one and a half turn of coil left at 
bottom.  
 
4. Compress the spring to realize the jaw 
distance of ≤120mm. 
 
5. Confirm the position of buffer limit 
switch (1). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
6. Fix the buffer and pull the connecting 
rod to the utmost.  
 
 
7. Fix the spring into the spring bracket.  
Note:  
The end of the spring shall match the 
alignment hole (as the arrow shows)  
 
8. Fix the upper spring bracket that is 
incorporated with a shock pad to the 
extent that the punched hole is deviated 
180º from the lower spring bracket (as 
the arrow shows).  
 
9. Fix the spacer bearing and localizer.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
10. Fix the new set screw.  
11. Fasten the new set screw.  
Note: 
Use the spanners vertically (as the figure 
shows).

- Use elastic washer 5 and nut 4 to connect the joint plate assembly 6 with the control arm 
assembly 12, screw with the required torque. The same procedure applies to both the left 
and right sides.  
- Use flat washer 16, bolt 17 and three pieces of bolt 7 to connect the control arm with the 
subframe. The same procedure applies to both the left and right sides. 
- Fix clamp 20 onto the gum cover of stabilizer bar assembly 21, fasten bolt 19 and nut 
18 with the required screwing torque. The same procedure applies to both the left and 
right sides. 
- Use bolt 8 and nut 11 to fix the front shock absorber assembly with knuckle 9.  
- Use bolt 10 and nut 13 to connect knuckle and the ball pin of control arm assembly; 
screw with the required torque.  
- Use nut 14 to connect the front connecting rod assembly 15 with stabilizer bar assembly 
and control arm assembly respectively and fasten with the required torque.
