Front Suspension

FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM


DESCRIPTION








This vehicle has a gas pressurized MacPherson strut type front suspension design.

The front suspension consists of these major components:
- Lower control arm (2)
- Stabilizer bar
- Steering knuckle (2)
- Strut assembly (2)
- Wheel bearing and hub (pressed into steering knuckle)

OPERATION
The front suspension allows each front wheel on a vehicle to adapt to different road surfaces and conditions without greatly affecting the opposite wheel and the ability to control the vehicle. Each side of the front suspension is allowed to pivot so the vehicle can be steered in the direction preferred.
