6.5 SUSPENSION SYSTEM
FRONT SUSPENSION
(Front Suspension)
Front Suspension is McPherson type, independent suspension with the shock absorber and the spring
acting as both damping and flexible elements at the same time, structural and kinematic elements.
The main components of this structure are:
Sheet metal lower control arm
with Reinforcements which is considerable less in weight as compared to
forged lower link.
Suspension bushes
have been exclusively designed to improve the comfort, adopted asymmetric
stiffness for the rear LCA bush to reduce the impart harness during acceleration and braking.
Front suspension Subframe
with high structural rigidity transmits forces from suspension into body
suppressing the acoustic excitation of the body structure by the suspension (Improved NVH)
- “Rubberized” top mount
for improved filtering of road vibrations and noise at the same time
guaranteeing excellent structural strength favoring driving precision.
- Anti-roll bar with Stab link
mounted on the shock absorbers that allow improved stabilizing efficiency and
better dynamic responsiveness around bends.
- Double acting telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers
with improved lateral rigidity assisting road
holding during cornering. Valve assemblies have been selected for excellent vibration damping.
Method of attachment to the body shell has also been improved; rubberized anchorage on the suspension
tower improves the noise isolation. There by improving comfort.
