Front Suspension
The front suspension consists of the following components:
Front and rear lower arms Stabilizer bar and links Strut and spring assembly Wheel bearing and wheel hub Wheel spindle
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 front and rear lower control arms and ball joints for the lower (unloaded) pivot points of the steering spindle and/or knuckle.
