11.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the front and rear suspension systems, and also covers diagnostic procedures.
Fig. 1 Front Suspension Layout
11.2 FRONT SUSPENSION, DESCRIPTION
Theupperrearwishbone(1 Fig.l)andthe upperfrontwishbone(2 Fig.1)arepivotedon the upperfulcrum bolt (3Fig.l), passing through the front cross beam assembly. They are also fitted via an upper ball joint assembly (4 Fig.1) to a verti- cal linkaccommodating the stub axle (5 Fig.l), whereas the vertical linkisfittedvia a lower ball joint assembly (6 Fig.1) to the lower wishbone assembly.
The lower wishbone assembly comprises
a lower rear wishbone (7 Fig.l), lower front wishbone (8 Fig.l), damper (9 Fig.1) (incorporating damper bush 10 Fig.1) and spring pan (1 1 Fig.1) supporting the road spring (12 Fig.1). The lower
wishbone assembly is pivoted on the bushed lower fulcrum shaft (13 Fig.1) which also passes through thecross beam
assembly.
Both independent front suspension assemblies are linked by a stabilizer bar (14 Fig.1) which is secured to the cross
member using a fixing arrangement of mounting rubbers (15 Fig.1, clamps (16 Fig.l), nuts bolts, washers (17 Fig.1) and two link arm assemblies (18 Fig.1). Each link arm assembly is fitted to one end of the stabilizer bar and to one end
of the lower front wishbone using a fixing arrangement of bolts washers and self locking nuts.
All suspension loads, except the damper, are fed into a pressed steel crossbeam which is isolated from the body by
rubber bushes. This mounting method allows the necessary amount of compliance.
The degree
of caster is adjustable via shims positioned on either side of the upper ball joint assembly but camber is facton/ set and is not adjustable. The vertical link and the steering arm form a single forging. Cast iron hubs rotate
on twin tapered roller bearings.

w: The 'Premium Unleaded Fuel Only' caution is added to the Federal Market vehicles, also 'PARK BRAKE and
'BRAKE' replace international symbols used in all other markets.
m: Six cylinder vehicle version shown; the tachometer red-line on 12 cylinder vehicles starts at 6000 RPM.
The front of the
PECUSprogrammable instrument panel features 6 analog gauges, 22 warning lamps /tell tales and
a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), the rear of the panel accommodates two PCB mounted connectors, one 24-way
connector, one 48-way connector, one instrument panel identification label and 14 light bulbs arranged in groups of
seven on either side. Three power inputs and two ground inputs are provided for 'POWER UP' and 'POWER DOWN'
sequence, the three power inputs comprising battery, ignition and auxiliary. The instruments are protected by a
housing
/ lens assembly.
15.2.7 Gauges
The two major gauges are tachometer and speedometer, and the four minor gauges indicate battery condition, fuel
level, oil pressure and coolant temperature.
Each gauge is contained
in a sealed non-serviceable can and must be renewed as a complete unit in case of any
damage.
CAUTION: Extreme care should be exercised when renewing instrument pand components to avoid damago to the delicate indicator needles.
