The MacPherson strut assembly is attached to the vehicle at the shock tower using 3 studs which are part of the isolated top mount. The lower end of the MacPherson strut assembly is attached to the upper leg of the steering knuckle. Attachment of the MacPherson strut assembly to the steering knuckle is by 2 serrated bolts. A forged lower control arm assembly is attached to the front cradle and steering knuckle. A tension strut connects the lower control arm assembly to the front cradle. A sealed for life front hub and bearing assembly is attached to the front steering knuckle. The outer C/V joint assembly is splined to the front hub and bearing assembly and is retained by a prevailing torque nut.
