Which support bearings are better to put on the Priora?

You are the happy owner of one of the best works of the domestic automobile industry - Lada Priora, you use it carefully, everything suits you. But sooner or later there comes a time when, on minor road irregularities, extraneous noises and knocks appear in the front of the car. It's time to pay attention to the strut supports and the struts themselves, which can start knocking after a mileage of 40 thousand km. If, having looked under the wheel arch, you find traces of drips on the strut body, there is no doubt - the unit must be replaced. Several questions immediately arise: which struts are best to install on a car, where to buy, and how long can new shock absorbers from different manufacturers last?

Bet Rusich, you won’t regret it. They make less noise in the cabin and are softer.

The sevi bearings crunched, the supports themselves were fine

factory ones. and don't rack your brains. Just be sure to lubricate it extra before installation.

My SS20s were falling apart, I installed the sevi, now there are no extraneous sounds or grinding noises when turning in place, the SS20s drove 3000 km and died

SKF 51112 or our SPZ-4 8112

I installed ss20 the other day

Bearing VBF (Vologda). Install the support the same way they are from the Anvis factory. I’ve already gone through 50 thousand, people can take care of about a hundred without any problems. Why look for something else?

BMRT they say are good, my BRT creaked after three months or a couple of thousand km.

I installed Sevi a year ago and am happy. www.drive2.ru/l/7702153/

Any, there is no difference because everything is of poor quality, only high-quality parts come from the factory.

That’s why my brother changed three pairs from the factory ones in the first two years, until he installed the Sevi Extreme, everything has been great for 4 years now, I immediately installed the Sevi Extreme, I just switched to the tenth suspension, I’ve been driving it for five years too.

And 10 doesn’t have such a suspension? What’s wrong?

The ten has a cylindrical spring, the shock absorber rod is screwed through the damper to the body and when the steering wheel is turned, the rod does not rotate, and in general the damper and bearing are two different parts, sorry, I’m writing from a tablet, but here I don’t have a Russian keyboard.

Tell me what nuances arose when switching to the 10th suspension. I also want to install the 10th, because of these support bars and breakdowns (our roads are “excellent”) I’ve already changed the 3rd set.

Hello, no real problems, the only thing I got was with burnt plates, www.drive2.ru/l/3872728/ you can look here, but everything is new, support, spring and strut. For three years everything has been a bomb, but now the budget for such hardware as mine is not bad.

In theory, the glasses are the same size. What is the 10 and what is the Priora? And the glass was rubbed, maybe the caster is set like that? Or is the plate defective? And thank you...otherwise these priority guards don’t give you any rest.

No, after replacing the plate everything is great, the glass may be the same, but the plate that is welded to the glass under the tenth spring will not fit.

On the right is BRT, on the left is SKF - there is no difference, the price is the same - 300 rubles. I just changed the left one a month later, otherwise I probably would have installed both SKF ones.

If the financial issue is not so pressing, then put SS20 GOLD! you will not regret!

I ordered Asomi for myself, everyone seems to praise it. They should arrive tomorrow.

Asomi, we haven't let you down yet.

If the bearings are purely VBF, I think they have been installed from the factory since 1912. I rode 90t.km on my family and only changed the bearings and left the supports themselves

how many people have so many opinions, I am for brt, since ss are worth space

My brt after 2 weeks the right bearing began to knock) this is the case

I installed ASOMI after BRT, I couldn’t be happier

It depends on what roads you drive on, but use the ss-20. Sevi is complete eeeeee.

I have Rosich. There is a photo in the blog.

SS20 stood as purchased. Been away for 3 years. Tired. I put ss20 gold. Half a year on them. So far there are no complaints.

To be honest, I installed VBF on the former 99th. After some time I noticed cracking of the rubber on one of them! It was not possible to verify the batches and release date. Alas, I later changed it to BRT.

I installed new VBF bearings that come with the BRT and Anvis bearings (installed since 10), at first the right spring clicked, then the left one, threw them out and installed SKF. they have a slightly different shape, while there is silence. price 420 rubles for one, Vbf cost about the same.

Asomi I've been driving for 3 years without problems

They say ss20 lasts longer. I’m knocking and I don’t know which ones to put.

Do-it-yourself replacement of the front strut support bearing on a Priora

Even experienced motorists sometimes do not immediately determine the causes of knocking from the front pillars. The noise is heard under the hood while driving and when turning. There is also a knocking sound in the shock absorber springs. Car control deteriorates, and noticeable play appears at the steering wheel.

The reason for these problems is most likely that the support bearing of the Priora front strut is faulty . The part itself is installed between the support cups; inside there are also rubber gaskets - vibration and noise insulators, which also wear out. “Priorka” is an unpretentious car, but failure of the “support” still happens from time to time.

If the front support bearings of a Priora (Kalina, 2110, 2112, 2111) are knocking, it’s worth doing diagnostics and replacement.

How to check the support bearing on a Priora

Some causes of car malfunction:

• expiration of service life (mileage has exceeded 70 thousand km);
• excess axial loads on the racks (careless driving, accidents);
• moisture and dust getting under the hood.

To do this, do the following:

1. Raise the hood.
2. Locate and remove the protective cover of the upper support cup.
3. Start rocking the car body from bottom to top, while keeping your palm on the cup.
4. If you feel a knocking noise with your hand or hear grinding and rattling noises, you probably need to replace the bearing.

Support bearing for Priora - which one is better

The support bearing is a part of the upper support that ensures the rack rotates along the axis while the car is turning. This part is an important element in the front chassis, the choice of which should be taken with care.

Reliable products are produced by SKF, as well as a number of Russian bearing factories. We list the main manufacturers, catalog numbers and prices of support bearings for Priora:

Replacing the optional bottom cushion:

This support can be removed very simply, first you will need to remove the crankcase protection from under the bottom of the car, after which you will have full access to the lower support (Cushion), it is on just one bolt and is attached to the bolt that comes with a nut; to unscrew a regular bolt, you need It will be easy to take a wrench and then unscrew it completely, but in order to unscrew the bolt that goes with the nut, you will need to stock up on two wrenches and hold the nut with one wrench (Or vice versa, the bolt), and with the other, unscrew the bolt (Or, conversely, the nut) and after doing this operations, the support can be removed from the vehicle.

How to replace the front support bearing on a Priora

Before starting the replacement, familiarize yourself with the structure of the front suspension strut, and it is also recommended to watch the video (at the bottom of the article) .

I like CC20 Master the most: https://autosystem.ru/index.php? > But the selected service-seller of racks does not provide a guarantee for racks when installing any supports from CC20, even the most “delicate”. The second option is SEVI-sport (they are also SEVI-extreme, if I understand correctly): https://sevi.ru/produktsiya/vaz-1118-2170-1/opora-stojki-perednej-podveski-vaz-2170-priora I liked it design with huge metallic cages without separators. It's funny that the spring is not put on a metal cup through rubber, but is inserted inside a plastic cup through a thin rubber gasket: https://sevi.ru/produktsiya/vaz-1118-2170-1/povorotnyj-uzel-vaz-2170-priora. A dark horse. Reviews about the product are very polar. Did anyone present use it? The most standard option (including those imposed by the service) is ASOMI ComfortPRO: https://www.asomi.ru/Pages/? > I would replace SKF bearings with Vologda ones: https://clubturbo.ru/images/cms/headers/new/0000_11183_podshipnik_opory.jpg. Or are there better bearing options, for example with iron cages, that I don't know about? The same question applies to assembled supports. Perhaps there is something better? In particular, VAZ now delivers from the assembly line not Balakovo, but Anvis, which, quite by chance, is like 2 drops of water similar to the ASOMI standard.
