The s pring and damper as s embl y i s a t win tube des ign wi th the convent ional coil s pring located on a welded s pri ng s eat ont he damper t ube. The l ower end of t he damper body l ocat es in the wheel knuckle whi ch is cl amped wit h a bolt .
The damper funct ions by rest ricti ng the flow of hydraul ic fluid through internal gall eri es wit hin t he damper. The damper rodmoves axi all y wit hin t he damper, i ts movement l imi ted by the flow of flui d t hrough the gal leri es, provi di ng damping ofundul ati ons i n t he t errai n. The damper rod is s ealed at i ts exi t poi nt from t he damper body t o mai ntain the flui d wit hin theunit and t o prevent the i ngres s of dirt and mois ture. The seal als o i ncorporat es a wiper to keep t he rod cl ean.
The damper rod i s located t hrough a central hol e in the top mount as sembl y. The rod i s threaded at i ts out er end. As elf-locking nut s ecures the t op mount t o t he damper rod. A s pring ai d i s fi tt ed t o t he damper rod t o prevent the t opmount cont act ing t he t op of the damper duri ng ful l s us pens ion compress ion and al s o as si st s t he s uspens ion t une.

The coi l s pring fit t ed differs wit h vehi cl e s peci fi cat ion. Each s pring i s col our coded to identi fy i ts rat ing and fit mentrequirements .
The coi l s pring i s l ocated in a spring s eat which i s an int egral part of the damper body and cont ains a spring i sol at or. Thedesi gn of the spring s eat prevent s t he s pring rotat ing. The s pring has a li near rate compres s ion and i s i ncli ned to count ercorneri ng forces .

The t op mount is fit ted wit h a t op mount bearing whi ch is l ocat ed between t he 2 t op mount plat es and the damper rod. As elf locking nut s ecures the damper rod to the t op mount.
