Introduction - FRONT SUSPENSION

Front suspension: independent, McPherson type.

The front suspension crossmember made from galvanized steel to improve resistance to structural corrosion has been strengthened with box sections at the bodyshell attachments to guarantee improved passenger compartment noise filtration.

The cast iron track control arms, have new bushes fitted at the rear of the vertical axle to improve the absorption of vibrations and road holding round bends.

Side load type coil spring to reduce tangential forces on the shock absorber stem with a consequent improvement in the absorption of small irregularities in the road surface.

Double acting telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers.

Upper shock absorber mounting with improved axial rigidity to improve comfort.

Steering knuckle with increased transverse camber angle to improve the camber angle when cornering (wheel perpendicular to the ground).

Axial bearing.

Cap secured to the bodyshell turret.

Front suspension with anti-roll bar.
