Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The  control  arms and toe link are  attached  to the suspension  support on 
the  inboard  side,  and  to  a  suspension knuckle  on  the  outboard  side. The 
hub  and  bearing  assembly  is mounted  to  the  knuckle and 
is a single, 
non-serviceable unit  which eliminates  the  need for wheel  bearing 
adjustment.  The  load  leveling 
(ELC) shock absorbers  are attached  to the 
lower  control  arm,  with 
the upper  end of the  shock  attached  to  the 
suspension  support.  The  springs are held  in  position between  the lower 
control  arms  and  a  pocket in the  suspension  support. 
The  suspension  system  also  incorporates  a 
new damping system  known  as 
Speed  Sensing Suspension.  This system  controls  the  damping forces 
in 
the shock  absorbers  and struts, in response  to  various road  and  driving 
conditions.  The systems  are capable  of making  these damping changes 
extremely  fast. 
A computer receives inputs from vertical  acceleration sensors, wheel to 
body  position sensors,  vehicle speed  sensor, 
lift and dive  signals.  This 
computer  evaluates  the  input  from these  sensors,  to control  the  damping 
of  each 
of the  struts  and  shocks independently  to  provide varied levels of 
suspension  control. 
The  system  also has 
the capability  of providing  Speed Sensitive  Steering 
control.  This  system changes  your steering  effort  based on your  vehicle 
speed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Speed  Sensitive  Steering 
This system  varies the amount  of steering  effort  proportionate  to  your 
vehicle  speed.  Steering  is easier  at  a  lower speed  for  increased 
maneuverability  and  parking  ease. 
As your  vehicle speed increases,  the 
steering  effort  is also  increased  to  provide a  manual 
like steering  feel for 
maximum  control  and  enhanced  vehicle  stability. 
The  power rack  and  pinion  steering  system has a  rotary  spool  valve  which 
directs  hydraulic  fluid  coming  from  the power steering  pump  to  one  side 
or  the  other  side 
of the rack piston. The integral  rack piston  is attached  to 
the  rack.  The rack piston converts hydraulic  pressure  to  a  linear  force 
which  moves  the rack  left or right.  The  force  is 
then transmitted  through 
the  inner  and  outer  tie  rods  to  the  steering  knuckles,  which turn the 
wheels 
If hydraulic  assist  is not available,  manual  control  is maintained.  However 
under  these  conditions  more  steering  effort 
is required.
