SUSPENSION



FRONT SUSPENSION (XB PETROL VARIENT)

FIG. 1b



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 considerably lighter in weight as compared

to forged lower link.



Suspension bushes

have been exclusively designed to improve the comfort, adopted asymmetric stiff-

ness for the rear LCA bush to reduce the impact harness during acceleration and braking.



Vertical member

design acts as sub frame and increases suspension structural rigidity, thus improving

vehicle NVH & high speed handling. Vertical member suppresses the acoustic excitation of the body struc-

ture generated by the road undulation.



“Dual path” 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 hold-

ing during cornering. Valve assemblies have been selected for excellent vibration damping.
