Do-it-yourself removal and replacement of front-wheel drive VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112
Since our roads are not yet impeccable and in some places are simply unrecognizable, we recommend checking the suspension more often for faults and damage.
If you suddenly begin to notice a crunching sound when hitting bumps in the road, then it will be useful for you to learn how to remove and replace the front drives of a VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112 with your own hands. You will need: new front drives (drive shaft assembly), a set of keys, a pry bar, a hammer, a wooden block, lubricant, a lift, gearbox oil.
It is important to know! Before starting work, it is necessary to drain the oil from the gearbox.
After the gearbox oil has been completely drained, loosen the hub nut.
Then we remove the wheel, then remove and hang the brake caliper.
Completely unscrew the hub nut and steering knuckle. Next, we take out the outer CV joint.
Let's pry at the inner CV joint with a pry bar and pull it out.
We recommend replacing a couple of drives at once, so we will replace the old CV joint to secure the shafts.
We take a new drive and install the retaining ring.
We drive the new drive into the gearbox. For convenience, we use a hammer and a wooden block. Repeat with the opposite wheel. We assemble the suspension, fill the gearbox with oil and do not forget to do the wheel alignment upon completion of the work.

Removing the axle shafts
It should be noted that if for one reason or another it is necessary to remove both front axle shafts of a VAZ 2110 at the same time, then it is necessary to prepare the old internal joint in advance. It must be inserted into the technological hole in the gearbox instead of one of the drives immediately after dismantling, because after simultaneously removing both axle shafts from the box, the differential gears shift. As a result, it becomes simply impossible to install the drives in their proper places without disassembling the gearbox.
Before removing the axle shafts, you must drive into a pit or lift. If the work will be carried out in a pit, then you should secure the VAZ 2110 with the hand brake, place stops under the rear wheels and engage neutral gear. After this, you need to disconnect the terminals from the battery, remove the crankcase protection and drain the transmission oil from the gearbox. Then you can begin the main work. Algorithm of actions.
- First, while the car is on the ground, you need to loosen the hub nut, and then loosen it and the bolts securing the wheels.
- Next, you need to lift the desired side of the car with a jack, unscrew the wheel bolts, remove the wheel and only then unscrew the wheel nut.
- Then you need to disconnect the wire going to the pad wear sensor, remove the brake hose seal from the bracket, loosen the hose tip on the working cylinder, bend back the lock washers, unscrew the caliper mounting bolts and remove it together with the pads.
- Next, unscrew and remove 2 bolts securing the shock absorber strut to the steering knuckle, or 2 bolts securing the ball joint.
- After this, you need to release the fist and pull the shank of the outer hinge out of the hub.
- All that remains is to remove the opposite end of the axle shaft from the gearbox; this is easiest to do using a pry bar.
It is worth noting that you need to pull out the drive smoothly, without strong jerks, holding it with one hand. Installation of the axle shaft is performed in reverse order. After completion of the work, the wheel alignment should be re-set.

Removal and replacement of VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112 drives
Good afternoon. Today a VAZ 2110 pulled into our pits with a terrible crunch. According to the owner, this started after he ran into a hole. After we raised the car on a lift, we noticed that the drive was bent. And from the bent drive, both CV joints, internal and external, were broken. It was decided to buy the drive assembly and replace it. In this article we will tell you how to replace the front wheel drives of VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112. These instructions are suitable for cars of all years of manufacture.
Functionality check
The condition of the inner and outer CV joints should be examined separately, since the procedures and signs are somewhat different.
External grenade
Grenade If you want to verify that the outer CV joint is faulty, do the following:
- When starting from a standstill, deliberately create jerks, but not strong ones;
- Try to accelerate sharply and slow down;
- Move the shaft transversely between the CV joints. If you feel any play, then the grenade is definitely worn out.
Internal grenade
But to understand whether an element really needs to be replaced, do this:
- Raise the drive wheels, which will allow you to bring the inner CV joint to its maximum angle;
- Start the engine;
- Turn on first speed;
- If the hinge is at the limit of wear, you will hear a characteristic crunch. This is a signal that you need to change the grenade.

Replacing the VAZ 2110 drive with your own hands
For the second time in two years, the short drive on a VAZ 2110 breaks off, and what’s most interesting is at the same intersection. The first time the drive jumped out, and the edge of the drive where the corkscrew ring was placed was torn off, and the last time, the drive was cut off at the support ring. In both cases, the drive broke off in the internal grenade.
When I first replaced the drive, many problems arose, the most difficult was getting the grenade out of the box. At that time, I did not know that it was easy to disassemble the grenade without removing it from the box and remove a piece of the drive. Therefore, I had to suffer, but the grenade did not lend itself to assembly or a chisel, somehow I took out a fragment from the grenade, assembled the drive and inserted it into the grenade. Checking the reliability of the installation of the drive inserted into the grenade, I sharply pulled the end of the drive and, lo and behold, the grenade came out of the box with ease.
