Front Suspension (04.01)
Description
Suspension Arms
The upper suspension arm is attached to the body structure.
The lower suspension arm is attached to the front subframe.
Each upper suspension arm has a press-fit ball-joint, and two
interleaved rubber bushes. Two bolts attach the upper
suspension arm to the body structure.
Each lower suspension arm has a press fit ball-joint and
metal-to-rubber bonded bushes which are attached to the
front subframe by two eccentric cam bolts (Camber and
castor settings).
Anti-roll Bar
The anti-roll bar, is attached to the subframe in two positions
by rubber bushes and clamps. The outer ends of the anti-roll
bar are attached to the lower suspension arms by drop links.
The anti-roll bar provides the required stiffness to control
body roll.
Vertical link
The Vertical link (Knuckle Joint) swivels on the upper and
lower suspension arms via ball-joints, and carries the hub, a
unit 3 wheel bearing (including the ABS encoder ring), the
wheel speed sensor, the brake caliper, and the brake disc
and shield. The position of the Vertical link is determined by
the movement of the steering rack, which is connected to
the Vertical link by the steering track rod.

Road Wheels and Tyres (04.04)
Suspension (04.00)
May 2007 Workshop Manual 4-4-3
Maintenance
Factory installed tyres and road wheels are designed to
operate satisfactory when inflated to the recommended
inflation pressures (Refer to ’Inspection and Verification’,
page 4-4-4). The recommended pressures apply to vehicle
loads up to and including the full-rated load capacity.
Correct tyre pressures and driving technique have an
important influence on tyre life. Heavy cornering,
excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp
braking increase tyre wear.
Replacement tyres should follow the recommended:
The use of any other size or type may seriously affect:
Wheels need to be renewed when:
Safety
Tyre Replacement and Wheel
Interchanging
When replacement of tyres is required it is preferable to
install a complete vehicle set. S hould either the front or rear
tyres only show excessive wear, new tyres must be installed
to replace worn ones. Under no circumstances interchange
tyres from side to side, front to re ar or vice versa as individual
tyre wear produces unique characteristics depending upon
their position. If the position is changed after wear has
occurred, the performance of the tyre will be adversely
affected.
New tyres must be balanced before installing to the vehicle.
•Size
•Speed rating
•Load range
• Radial construction type
•Safety
•Ride
•Handling
• Speedometer and Odometer calibration • Vehicle ground clearance
• Tyre clearance between
body and chassis
• Wheel bearing life
• Brake cooling
• Impact damaged
• Heavily corroded
• Porous • Wheel stud holes or seats
become damaged
• They have excessive radial or lateral runout.
ENSURE THAT TYRES ARE MOUNTED WITH THE
SIDEWALL MARKING ‘OUTSIDE’ SHOWING ON THE
OUTER SIDEWALL FACE.
CORRECT TYRE ROTATIONAL DIRECTION IS CRITICAL.
WA R N I N G
A TYRE AND WHEEL MUST ALWAYS BE CORRECTLY MATCHED. WIDER OR NARROWER TYRES THAN
RECOMMENDED COULD CAUSE DANGER THROUGH
SUDDEN DEFLATION.
WA R N I N G
WHEN CHANGING A WHEEL, MAKE SURE THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT MOVE. ALWAYS APPLY THE
PARKING BRAKE AND SELE CT THE TRANSMISSION
PARK POSITION (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ONLY).
WA R N I N G
NEVER RUN THE ENGINE WITH ONE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN CHANGING THE
WHEEL. THE WHEEL RESTING ON THE GROUND MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE.
WA R N I N G
ALWAYS TIGHTEN THE WHEEL NUTS TO
SPECIFICATION. TOO TIGHT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE,
TOO LOOSE MAY ALLOW TH E WHEEL TO BECOME
DETACHED.
WAR NI NG
DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TY PES OF TYRES ON THE
SAME VEHICLE. HANDLING MAY BE SERIOUSLY AFFECTED RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL.
WAR NI NG
USE ONLY WHEELS AND WHEEL NUTS SUPPLIED BY
ASTON MARTIN. AFTER MARKET WHEELS OR WHEEL
NUTS MAY NOT INSTALL OR FUNCTION CORRECTLY
AND COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DAMAGE.
Caution
When a new tyre is installe d, always renew the tyre
valve.

The symbol for the screen is an oval with the wires that are
to be screened inside it. The letters ‘SCR’ define the screen.
Controller Area Network (CAN)
Controller Area Network (CAN) is the wiring between
intelligent modules of the vehi cle. This wiring carries the
electronic data around the vehicle allowing the various
modules and components to interrogate the network and
read their specific data signals.
There are 2 different speeds of network.
Low speed - Transmits at 125,000 bits per second. Mainly
for body controller systems such as seats and doors
High speed - Transmits at 500,000 bits per second. Mainly
for engine management and powertrain associated systems
such as ABS.
All wiring in the CAN is twisted. The twisted wires always
consist of one wire with a black trace in it for the negative
side and one with a brown trace in it for the positive.
High Speed CAN wire
Low Speed CAN wire
The symbol below shows a module or a component
connector with the pin numbers that have CAN wires
coming from them.
‘CAN LS+’ - Low speed CAN positive side
‘CAN LS-’ - Low speed CAN Negative Side
To aid identification of the different speed CAN’s in the
vehicle different colours of wi re have been used, e.g. the
Low Speed Volcano is GB twisted with GN, the High Speed
Volcano is RB twisted with RN.
There is attached on a separate page a list for wire colour
abbreviations and what colour they refer to.
