Front Suspension
Front SuspensionThe front suspension consists of the following components:
^ Strut and spring assembly
^ Wheel spindle
^ Lower arm
^ Wheel bearing and wheel hub
^ Stabilizer bar and links
The front suspension system incorporates a Strut assembly that takes the place of the upper arm and ball joint. The strut carries out the function of a shock absorber and is encompassed by a coil spring. The strut and spring assembly supports the weight of the vehicle and is also the pivot point for the steering spindle. This system uses a lower control arm and ball joint for the lower (unloaded) pivot point of the steering spindle.
