The MacPherson strut type suspension is adopted..
MAIN FEATURES
•The wheel tread is increased to improve corner-
ing ability.
•The roll center height is modified to improve the
steering ability.
•Increased suspension stroke improves road hold-
ing quality, and secures good adhesion even on
bumpy-rough roads to reduce shocks received
when the vehicle negotiates bumps.
•The fully flattened crossmember improves the
left/right direction rigidity of installation points of
the lower arms for high steering ability.
•Tuning of the lower arm bushes improves the
steering ability and riding comfort.
•The stabilizer bar is joined to the strut for high
efficiency to secure the optimum rolling rigidity,
and improves the steering ability.
•Total tuning of struts, springs, and bump rubbers
improves the steering ability and riding comfort.
