assembly, stabilizer.

The front suspension is a combination strut and spring
design, with the control arms that pivot from the engine
frame. The frame has isolation mounts on the body
and a conventional rubber bushing is used on the lower
control arm pivot. The front lower control arm bushing
is mounted horizontally. The upper end of the strut is
isolated by a rubber mount which contains a bearing
to allow for wheel turning. The lower end of the steering
knuckle pivots on a ball joint riveted to the control
arm. The ball joint is fastened to the steering knuckle
with a castellated nut and cotter pin.

Stabilizer

If the spring with lower spring constant is applied on
the vehicle in order to increase the ‘ride comfort’, the
vehicle’s slope increases on turning due to the
centrifugal force. Because its trend increases for the
independent suspension system, the stabilizer bar
should be applied to the system in order to make a
balance the vehicle.

The stabilizer bar is the type of the torsion bar and the
both end of the stabilizer bar are connected to the
control bar, the center of the stabilizer bar is mounted
to the body frame.

Coil Spring

The coil spring is made by winding solid steel rod to
form the coil shape. Its energy absorption rate per
weight is higher than that of the leaf spring and it allows
to absorb little vibration properly resulted in keeping
the ride comfort. Therefore, it’s difficult to make a effect
on vibration damping because there is not any friction
between coils.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Shock Absorber

This vehicle is applied to the strut type and the
telescopic double tube type. The shock absorber is
connected to the piston rod in the strut. Positioned
between the car body and the tire, acts with coil springs
to insure a smooth ride ; dampens vibrations and
improves driving stability and controllability by
pressing the tires against the road surface.

YAD2C020

The telescopic shock absorber is consist of the tube
with the piston and the rod, and the other cylinder tube.
The piston section has the orifice and valve and the
cylinder is filled fully with oil.

This double tube type enables to control the vibration
properly because oil resistance forces are generated
on compression and expansion of shock absorber.
Thus, this double type is better than the mono tube
type regarding the driving safety.

Upper/Lower Arm Assembly

The lower arm assembly mounts the shock absorber
with bushings in order to support the load delivered
from the spring , the shock absorber and the bumper.
The upper arm also supports the load delivering to the
knuckle. This assembly enables to absorb the various
shock and to ensure the driving safety.
