SUSPENSION AND AXLE


  1. General


    1. The coil spring type double-wishbone independent suspension is used for the front, and the 4-link coil spring with lateral rod type suspension is used for the rear.

    2. A Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) is provided depending on the model.

    3. A 4-wheel Active Height Control suspension (4-wheel AHC) and Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) is provided depending on the model.

  2. Front Suspension


    1. Through the optimal allocation of components, the front suspension realizes excellent riding comfort, controllability, and off-road drivability.

      Tech Tips


      • To prevent hazardous conditions, make sure to empty the gas from the front shock absorber assembly before discarding a low-pressure (N2) gas sealed front shock absorber assembly.

      • The camber and caster of the front suspension can be adjusted using the adjustment cams of the lower arms.

      • For details, refer to the Repair Manual.
