Struts
The front suspension struts are a MacPherson twin tube design with the conventional coil spring replaced by an air 
spring. The lower end of the strut is connected to the front hub assembly with two bolts. The upper top mount is 
attached to the inner wing with three studs and nuts.

The top mount has a bearing installed which reduces the force required on the steering when the strut rotates. A paper 
gasket is fitted on the underside of the inner wing, between the inner wing and the top mount. The gasket prevents 
the ingress of dirt and moisture into the bearing. When the strut is removed, this gasket must be replaced with a new 
item to maintain the performance of the bearing and care must be taken to ensure that the gasket is correctly 
positioned.

The damper functions by restricting the flow of hydraulic fluid through internal galleries within the damper. A damper 
rod moves axially within the damper. As the rod moves, its movement is limited by the flow of fluid through the galleries 
thus providing damping of undulations in the terrain. The damper rod is sealed at its exit point from the damper body 
to maintain fluid within the unit and to prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture. The seal also acts as a wiper to keep 
the rod outer diameter clean.
