3D-2 FRONT SUSPENSION
General Description
The front suspension is the strut type independent suspension. The upper end of a strut is anchored to the vehi-
cle body by a strut support. The strut and strut support are isolated by a rubber mount. A strut bearing is also
installed a little lower to the rubber mount.
The lower end of the strut is connected to the upper end of a steering knuckle and lower end of knuckle is
attached to the stud of a ball joint which is incorporated in a unit with a suspension control arm. And connected
to this steering knuckle is the tie-rod end.
Thus, movement of the steering wheel is transmitted to the tie-rod end and then to the knuckle, eventually caus-
ing the wheel-and-tire to move. In this operation, with the movement of the knuckle, the strut also rotates by
means of the strut bearing and lower ball joint.
