103Chapter 5 Front Suspension SystemSection 1 Front Suspension SystemDescription on front suspension structure
This model uses strut swing arm independent suspension with stabilizer bar.
The shock absorber upper end is flexibly connected to the body through the shock absorber mounting seat,
the lower end is rigidly connected to the steering knuckle. The coil spring encloses the shock absorber (coil
spring geometrical axial line does not coincide with that of the shock absorber piston rod), and is supported
between the upper and lower spring seats.
Both ends of the stabilizer bar are connected to the shock absorber through the strut bar ball pin and the
intermediate part is supported on the lower front body by the rubber bushing and support frame.
The front cushion sleeves the shock absorber piston rod head to restrict the wheel jump limit position and
plays the role of buffer.
The thrust ball bearing, installed between the spring upper seat and the shock absorber mount, is used for the
relative rotation upon steering of the shock absorber rigidly connected to the steering knuckle to the shock
absorber mount flexibly connected to the body.
"L" type lower swing arm is secured to the lower engine compartment with the press plate through elastic
rubber bushing and hinge, and its outer end is connected to the steering knuckle through the ball stud pin
which is attached to the lower swing arm by 3 high intension bolts. The ball stud pin can be removed and
replaced when it is worn.
The ball seat material is saturated polyester containing oil, featured in comparatively high intensity and
wearability and good self-lubrication performance. Proper amount of grease has been added during the
assembly and there is no need for additional filling during the normal operation.

106Section 3 Front Wheel AlignmentAdjustment1. Inspect tire
2. Inspect toe-in
Toe-in
If the toe-in is not as specified, adjust the tie rod (but the left and
right tie rods must be adjusted symmetrically).
3. Adjust toe-in
(1) Loose the tie rod end lock nut.
(2) Turn the left and right tie rod in the same direction for same
revolutions.
Hint: Adjust the toe-in to the specified value.
Only adjust the one-side tie rod is not allowed.
(3) Make sure the left and right tie rods are of the same length.
(The difference should be less than 0.5mm).
(4) Tighten the lock nut of tie rod.
Torque: 45~50N.m
4. Inspect wheel limited turn angle
Turn the steering wheel fully and measure the turning angle.
Wheel angle:
If the wheel angle is less than the specified value, check whether the length of the right and left tie rod
ends.Tire Pressure 220KP a

108Replacement1. Remove the front wheel.
2. Remove the ABS sensor from the steering knuckle. Separate the sensor and signal wire from the wire
harness bracket on the front shock absorber.
3. Separate the front brake hose
Remove 2 clips and separate the front brake hose from the front shock absorber bracket.
4. Remove the stabilizer bar link rod assembly
Remove the nut connecting the stabilizer bar link rod assembly and the shock absorber.
5. Remove the front shock absorber with the coil spring
(1) Remove the nuts and bolts connecting the shock absorber and brake.
(2) Remove the 4 nuts connecting the front shock absorber and vehicle body.
Notice: reliable object shall be used to support the brake assembly!
