SUSPENSION 6 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.
