Descriptions and Operations

Front Suspension – 4WD


ATTENTION: The suspension fasteners
are critical parts which may influence
the vehicle performance. Their failure
will cause high maintenance costs. Use
components of identical part drawing
number when replacement is necessary
during maintenance. Do not use subs-
titutive parts or parts of poor quality. During
assembly, strictly tighten the components
up to the given torque so as to guarantee
that they are under correct holding force.
The front suspension system is in the form of an
independent double-overarm torsion bar spring
suspension. Both ends of the torsion bar spring
are splines, with the front end supported by
lower arm and the rear end supported by height-
adjustable arm. The wheel knuckle and swing
arm is connected with a ball joint. Longitudinal
movement of the vehicle is controlled by the
swing arm.
The front suspension system is composed of the
following components:
● Shock Absorber
● Upper Arm
● Lower Arm
● Torsion Bar
● Stabilizer Bar
● Knuckle
