| US Lotus Elise Suspension Removal |
Elise Suspension Removal
Pictures are from a S1 Elise, US Elise suspension removal should be very similar but
may differ slightly as the US spec elise will have cross drilled disks and ABS sensors. |
| Rear right caliper as seen from the rear looking towards the front. |
Lock ring removal only necessary for removing the rear axles |
|
Removal of the caliper from the front suspension and hub assembly. |
Pads are held in by the caliper; notice the hydraulic line going to the second caliper piston.
|
|
Once the caliper is removed the disk should easily come off of the hub. |
US disk will be drilled and vented 11" and have a 4 x 100mm bolt pattern |
The whole assembly can be removed once separated from the steering rack.
|
Remove the shock and then disconnect the steering rack with a tie rod end puller. |
|
Removing the blots that hold the A-arms in place is a difficult due to space limitations |

|
View of the A-arm assembly from the reverse angle |
Removing the rear A-arm and hub assembly is similar to the front |
|
With the rotor removed the shock is easily unbolted |
Shock removed, the shock is height adjustable using a series of snap rings |
|
The rear hub carrier is removed from the top A-arm exposing the shims used for changing rear alignment settings. |
Rear hub carrier assembly removed from the A-arms and the drive shaft |
|
At this point drive shafts can be removed if needed |
Drive shafts should slide out from transmision |
