DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Front Suspension
Overview
N0TE:During installation of the front wheel bearing
it is important to adhere to the specified installation
position, as the anti-lock brake system
( ABS )
sensor ring is located in the wheel bearing. A
coloured rubber ring is provided to indicate the
correct installation position. If the wheel bearing
were to be installed incorrectly then this would
cause failure of the ABS
.
A newly developed Mc-Pherson front suspension
with L-shaped lower arms is used. These lower
suspension arms are linked via large rubber
mountings to a reinforced and extremely rigid front
axle crossmember.
The ball head between the lower suspension arm
and the suspension strut is secured with three
rivets. Toe-in is adjusted via adjustable track rods.
The lower suspension arms can only be replaced as a complete unit.

A significant modification is the replacement of the
previous Mc-Pherson suspension struts with
separate spring and shock absorber elements. This
results in more space in the area of the suspension
strut turrets, thus increasing the volume of the
luggage compartment. In addition, the forces from
the spring and shock absorber elements are now
dissipated separately and have been individually
optimised.
The shock absorbers are single-tube gas shock
absorbers.
It is important that the correct installation orientation
is adhered to when assembling the support
bearings, as otherwise the geometry of the rear
