SUSPENSION

1

1.1. GENERAL INFORMATION

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.
