Front Suspension

Front Suspension





WARNING: No attempt must be made to weld or repair the front subframe. if it is damaged a now one must be installed. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

The independent front suspension is of the double wishbone type and is mounted on the front subframe, the front subframe consisting of a pressed steel fabrication.

The rear of the front subframe provides the mounting points for the power assisted steering gear and the engine mounts.

A vertical knuckle arm is installed between the lower and upper suspension arms. This wheel knuckle carries the lower arm swivel joint, front hub, ABS rotor, ABS sensor, wheel bearing and brake assembly.

A stabilizer bar is mounted via clamps and bushes to the front subframe and is linked via connecting links to each of the lower arms.

When cornering, weight is naturally transferred to the outer wheel and there is a natural tendency for the inner wheel to lift. The stabilizer bar helps to reduce the vehicle roll.
