Front Suspension - Description
SRT
The SRT front suspension is part of an Active Damping System (ADS). The ADS includes unique shock absorbers, an Active Damping Control Module (ADCM), and three accelerometers that work together to modify the ride of the suspension over varying road conditions.
The Active Damping System (ADS) front shock assembly (2) is similar to a conventional coil over shock with the addition of a shock solenoid assembly (1) mounted on the side of its body with a three wire harness connector attached to it. The ADS shock assembly is serviced the same as a conventional shock absorber, with the addition of disconnecting the ADS harness connector from behind the splash shield.
The SRT front suspension is similar to the standard front suspension but some components have been modified for unique ride, handling, and steering performance. Service of all front suspension components remain the same as the standard components. When components differ, be sure to use only SRT components on SRT vehicles.
The front knuckle (8) for the SRT is different from the standard knuckle. Although similar in appearance, the knuckle has been modified to accept the larger tire and wheel assembly. Also, the mounting bosses for the disc brake caliper have been moved downward to allow for mounting of the Brembo four-piston disc brake caliper (2).
The front stabilizer bar diameter has been increased for the SRT. It is serviced in the same manner as the standard bar.
