Spacers to increase the ground clearance of the VAZ 2109 front

Many motorists want to increase the ground clearance of the VAZ-2114. This is due to increased load capacity and cross-country ability. But not everyone knows how to do it with their own hands. For this, there are special spacers that are installed between the shock absorber and the body. They are different for the front and rear pillars, but the principle remains the same.

Classification of spacers to increase ground clearance

Set of spacers to increase ground clearance

Spacers for the front struts are installed between the body and the strut, while the rear ones are installed between the axle and the shock absorber. They have different shapes and differ from each other, and therefore it is quite difficult to confuse them.

You can buy spacers either as a set or separately.

How to properly increase a car's ground clearance

The vehicle's ground clearance is a parameter that does not happen much on our roads.
Although, if you look from the other side, it is not uncommon to come across a car on the street with a lowered suspension. Most often they decide to increase clearance due to the following cases:

1. A loaded car hits the fender liners with its rear wheels or the mudguards on the ground, so they want to lift the rear of the car .
2. It touches the bottom or crankcase protection on an uneven road, so they want to raise the front of the car .

In some cases, they decide to raise the rear and front suspension at the same time. It is no secret to many that after such actions some troubles may arise, wear of some components may increase, and the characteristics of the car may change. Let's try to find the answer to the question: how to increase ground clearance without negative consequences .

Installation of spacers on VAZ-2114

So, now we can consider the process of installing spacers on shock absorbers, both for the front and rear wheels. To do this, you will need to dismantle the front shock absorbers with springs assemblies, but the rear ones - partially. In both cases, you will need a pit or lift and a set of keys.

Installing front spacers

Front spacers, as mentioned earlier, are placed between the body and the spring. This increases the ground clearance by several centimeters, depending on which gasket is selected. Now you can go directly to the installation process:

1. We place the car in the pit.
2. Jack up the front wheel.

conclusions

Selecting and installing a spacer for VAZ-2114 shock absorbers to increase ground clearance is quite simple. Even a novice motorist can cope with this task.

It turns out that my husband installed spacers for me secretly :) I thought there were factory ones at the back. Now I'm convinced that this is a revision. It’s clear why my butt is raised so much...

This seems like a joke. If someone is serious about using the 2114 for cargo purposes, it would be better to sell it right away. In a year or two he will simply ruin the car.

Spacers for shock absorbers 2108, 2109, 21099 front 21mm (set of 2 pieces) As experienced Corol drivers say, such spacers are 99.9% suitable for the front struts…. I wanted to set it to 20mm (this is the optimal height, although they set it to 35...) but because... from VAZ there are no 20... and there are only 18 and 21... I chose 21 mm))))

So these are the plans for leveling the face of the car
