FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. A large, liquid-sealed lower No. 2 arm bushing is used to reduce the harshness of shock generated by disturbances such as uneven road surfaces.

    2. The lower No. 1 arm bushing has a split construction to enhance the effect of the lower No. 2 arm bushing. In a split construction, the rubber in the flange portion is compressed, enhancing the longitudinal rigidity of the vehicle.

    3. A forged-aluminum steering knuckle is used to achieve a lightweight yet highly rigid structure. The tie rod ball joint and lower ball joint (front lower ball joint assembly) are integrated into the steering knuckle, achieving a simple structure.

    4. A compression type lower ball joint is used.
