CONSTRUCTION
A split-input type structure is adopted for the front suspension support assembly to achieve excellent ride comfort, controllability and vehicle stability.
A urethane bound stopper (front spring bumper) is used to reduce the impact generated when the suspension reaches full travel. In addition to increasing the suspension stroke, ride comfort at full suspension travel is ensured.
The shape and clearance of the bound stopper (front spring bumper) is optimized to reduce nose-dive while braking and the roll angle while turning.
A front upper coil spring insulator integrated into the dust cover is installed to the top of the spring to achieve vehicle stability and resistance to road surface disturbance.
The spring rate of the front coil spring is optimized to achieve excellent controllability and ride comfort.
