Front Axle Carrier

Front Axle Carrier: The materials used in the front axle carrier offer high tensile strength to support extreme loads. The front axle carrier is also manufactured from aluminum. It consists of cast alloy preformed sections which are welded into the extruded sections.

The front axle carrier accommodates the steering gear, control arms and tension struts, engine mounts, stabilizer bar, heat shield and the underbody panels.

An "thrust zone" panel is bolted on to increase the transverse rigidity of the front of the vehicle. This reinforcement has a positive effect on the handling, sound level and crash performance.




The benefits as a result of the improved front axle include increased agility, improved comfort by the reduction of unsprung weight, a reduction in fuel consumption by lowering the gross vehicle weight and better axle load distribution.
