Front Suspension

Front Suspension
The front suspension consists of the following components:
^ Wheel bearings
^ Wheel hubs
^ Wheel studs
^ Lower arms
^ Stabilizer bar
^ Stabilizer bar bushings
^ Stabilizer bar links
^ Strut and spring assemblies
^ Wheel knuckles The front suspension utilizes a MacPherson strut system.

This suspension system incorporates a strut assembly that takes the place of the upper arm and ball joint. The strut carries out the function of a shock absorber and is encompassed by a coil spring. The strut and spring assembly supports the weight of the vehicle and is also the pivot point for the steering knuckle. This system uses a lower control arm and ball joint for the lower (unloaded) pivot point of the steering knuckle.
