Front Suspension

DESCRIPTION






The front suspensions are comprised of:
- Shock absorbers
- Coil springs
- Suspension arms
- Steering knuckles
- Strut bars.
- Stabilizer bar

CAUTION: Components attached with a nut and cotter pin must be torqued to specification. Then if the slot in the nut does not line up with the cotter pin hole, tighten nut until it is aligned. Never loosen the nut to align the cotter pin hole.

CAUTION: Suspension components with rubber bushings (except stabilizer bar) should be tightened with the vehicle at normal height. It is important to have the springs supporting the weight of the vehicle when the fasteners are torqued. If springs are not at their normal ride position, vehicle ride comfort could be affected and premature bushing wear may occur.

NOTE: Periodic lubrication of the front suspension (steering) system components is required. Rubber bushings must never be lubricated. Refer to Maintenance for the recommended maintenance schedule.
