Suspension: Description and Operation

Fig. 1 Exploded View Of Front Suspension:

The short/long arm (SLA) front suspension assembly, Fig. 1, is designed to allow each wheel to compensate for changes in road surface level without significantly affecting the opposite wheel. Each wheel is independently connected to the frame by a steering knuckle, wheel hub, shock absorber and spring, upper and lower ball studs and upper and lower control arms.
