BASIC CONSTRUCTION
The 4WD vehicles are equipped with
2.OL DOHC
16-valve turbocharged engine and incorporate new
technologies such as full time 4WD of center
differential type with viscous coupling differential
limiting for excellent running stability and excellent
Steering
l Light weight and compact rack and pinion
type for high steering response
l Tilt steering mechanism to give optimum
driving position
\driving across bad roads, and $-wheel independent
suspension for comfortable riding.
Adopted on
2WD vehicles are 2.OL DOHC 16-valveengine, MacPherson strut type front suspension
and torsion axle
typ.e 3-link rear suspension.
Rear suspension
l Self-aligning double wishbone type suspen-
sion for comfortable ride
(4WD)l Torsion axle type 3 link suspension for
outstanding driving stability
(2WD)l Negative chamber for outstanding steer-
ability during high speed driving
0 Anti-lift geometry for high stability duringbraking
lIntegral torsional bar type axle beam for
optimum roll stiffness (2WD)
\Front propeller shaft (3-piece
4-joint type)
lRobro joint to absorb lengthwise and angular
change and prevent transmission of vibrations.
(4WD)
IFront suspension
The front suspension of McPherson strut type
independent suspension system
l Under steer geometry for outstanding steering
stability
l Negative offset geometry for outstanding
stabil-ity at braking
0 Offset coil springs for comfortable ride
Brakes
l Cross piping dual type proportioning valvethat keeps balanced braking power even at
failure of the hydraulic system.
l Four wheel disc brake system for high
braking power.

FRONT SUSPENSION - Anti-dive Geometry / Negative-offset Geometry2-5ANTI-DIVE GEOMETRY
RO2cAAAOrdinarily, when the brakes are applied, the load is moved
toward the front of the vehicle as the result of inertial force, and
this causes the phenomenon known as “nose dive”, in which
the front of the vehicle is caused to tilt forward and downward.
For this front suspension, however, the suspension link design
-which has a high
“anti-dive” effect- is such that the lower
arm is tilted forward in order to counteract the “nose dive”
phenomenon.
In other words, braking force
F is divided into force compo-
nents
F, and F2; of these, F1 acts in the direction that expands
the front spring, with an effect that reduces the “nose dive”
phenomenon.
NEGATIVE-OFFSET GEOMETRY
AOZDAAAFor negative-offset geometry. the king pin offset
angle is outside the center point of tire-to-ground
contact. Thus, for example, if a tire on the right side
is punctured during driving, or if the brakes are
applied while the left tires are on a slippery surface
(ice, etc.), the vehicle would be inclined to swerve to
the side (in this case the right side) of greater road
surface resistance to the tires, but, because of the
negative-offset geometry construction, a certain
force would be generated to cause rotation in
direction C, employing point A as the fulcrum point.
At the same time, there would be generated at the
tires on the opposite side a corresponding force to
cause rotation in direction D, also employing point A
as the fulcrum point, but, because that force is
Centreooint of strutPatigreater in direction
C (where road surface resistance
is greater), the tires themselves will tend to turn in
the left direction. As a result,. because
t.he tires
automatically countersteer in the left direction, even
though the force applied to the vehicle by the road
surface resistance is to the right, the system thus
functions to maintain the vehicle on a relatively
straight-ahead course.
NOTEThe king pin offset is the distance from the center
point of tire-to-ground contact when a line (ex-
tended to the road surface) is drawn to connect the
ball joint center point and the center point of the
strut upper installation part.

REAR DISC BRAKE‘he rear brake is the
AD30P type, featuring highly
tifficient heat dissipation, quick recovery of braking
force when wet, and highly stabilized braking force.The brake system incorporates an auto adjuster that
automatically adjusts the clearance between the
pad and brake disc when
t.he brake pedal is
depressed.
