Description
The front suspension system incorporates a strut assembly that takes the place of the upper control arm and upper
ball joint. The strut carries out the function of a shock absorber and is encompassed by a coil spring. The strut
assembly supports the weight of the vehicle and is also the pivot point for the steering knuckle. This system uses a
lower control arm and ball joint for the lower pivot point of the steering knuckle.
