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.

(2) Remove the 4 nuts connecting the front shock absorber and vehicle body.
Notice: reliable object shall be used to support the brake assembly!

1096. Disassemble the front strut assembly
(1) Remove the nut on the shock absorber.
Notice: the elasticity of the spring is recovered!
(2) Remove the washer, collar, shock absorber mount seat and big washer.
(3) Remove spring upper seat, front coil spring , front shock absorber boot, front dumper, front coil spring
lower insulator.
7. Assemble the front strut assembly
The assembly of the front strut assembly is in the reverse order of disassembly.
Notice:
(1) Use special fixture when installing the nut on the shock absorber piston rod, be
careful not to let the spring rebound. Torque: 80~90 N.Sm.(2) Install the 4 bolts attaching the front strut assembly to the body. Torque: 25~30N.m.(3) Install the 2 bolts and nuts of the front strut assembly and the brake.
Torque: 90~100N.m.
(4) Install the attaching nuts on the stabilizer bar link rod assembly and shock absorber.
Torque: 50~60N.m.
(5) Install the ABS sensor and secure the signal wire.

116Chapter 6 Rear Suspension SystemSection 1 Rear Suspension SystemRear suspension structure descriptionThis model uses strut independent rear suspension with stabilizer bar.
Rear suspension consists of the parallel front and rear double transverse arms, trailing rod, rear stabilizer bar
and rear strut assembly. The shock absorber and cone coil spring are arranged eccentrically.
See the table below for the major technical parameters of the rear suspensionProblem Symptoms TableUse the table below to help you find the cause of the problem. The numbers indicate the priority of the likely
