Front Suspension

Front Suspension

The Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) front suspension consists of the following components:

- Upper control arms
- Lower control arms
- Shock absorbers
- Springs
- Wheel knuckles
- Wheel bearing and wheel hubs
- Stabilizer bar and links

The vehicle can be equipped with either a vehicle dynamic suspension (using air springs in the rear of the vehicle) or a standard suspension (using coil springs at all 4 corners of the vehicle). Both are an independent-type front suspension which utilize a stabilizer bar to aid in vehicle stability. The wheel hub and wheel bearing are sealed units and are serviced as an assemblies. The lower ball joints can be serviced independently from the lower arm.

For information on the vehicle dynamic suspension system, refer to Suspension Control ( Automatic - Electronic Level ).
