1. OVERVIEW OF EXHAUST SYSTEM
When you are inspecting or replacing exhaust system components, make sure there is adequate
clearance from all points on the underbody to avoid possible overheating of the floor panel and
possible damage to the passenger compartment insulation and trim materials.
Check the complete exhaust system and the nearby body areas and trunk lid for broken,
damaged, missing or mispositioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections, or othe
r
deterioration which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the trunk may be an indication of a
problem in one of these areas. Any defects should be corrected immediately. -
2. OVERVIEW OF MUFFLER
Aside from the exhaust manifold connection, the exhaust system uses a flange and seal joint design
rather than a slip joint coupling design with clamp and U-bolts.
If hole, open seams, or any deterioration is discovered upon inspection of the front muffler and pipe
assembly, the complete assembly should be replace, the complete assembly should be replaced.
The same procedure is applicable to the rear muffler assembly. Heat shields for the front and rea
r
muffler assembly and catalytic converter protect the vehicle and the environment from the high
temperatures that the exhaust system develops.
3. OVERVIEW OF CATALYTIC CONVERTER
When jacking or lifting the vehicle from the body side rails, be certain that the lift pads do not
contact the catalytic converter, as this could damage the catalytic converter. -
Use of anything other than unleaded fuel will damage the catalyst in the catalytic converter. -
The catalytic converter are emission-control devices added to the exhaust system to reduce
pollutants from the exhaust pipes.
The oxidation catalyst is coated with a catalytic material containing platinum and palladium,
which reduces levels of hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) from the exhaust gas.
The three-way catalyst has coatings which contain platinum and rhodium, which additionall
y
lower the levels of oxides of nitrogen (NOx). -

1. OVERVIEW
The propeller shaft transfers the power through the transmission and transfer case to the front/rear
axle differential carrier (final reduction gear). It is manufactured by a thin rounded steel pipe to have
the strong resisting force against the torsion and bending. Both ends of propeller shaft are connected
to the spider and the center of propeller shaft is connected to the spline to accommodate the changes
of the height and length. The rubber bushing that covers the intermediate bearing keeps the balance o
f
rear propeller shaft and absorbs its vibration.
Function of propeller shaft ▶
Transmits driving torque.
Compensates the angle change (universal joint / CV joint).
Compensates the axial length change (splines for the slip joint). -

1) Front Suspension (Double Wishbone)
Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a
vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. Suspension systems serve a dual
purpose - contributing to the vehicle's road-holding/handling and braking for good active safety and
driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road
noise, bumps, and vibrations, etc. These goals are generally at odds, so the tuning of suspensions
involves finding the right compromise. It is important for the suspension to keep the road wheel in contac
t
with the road surface as much as possible, because all the forces acting on the vehicle do so through
the contact patches of the tires. The suspension also protects the vehicle itself and any cargo or luggage
from damage and wear.
2) Rear Suspension (Multi Link Type)
1. OVERVIEW
Double wishbone suspension is an independent
suspension design using two (occasionally
parallel) wishbone-shaped arms to locate the
wheel. Each wishbone or arm has two mounting
points to the chassis and one joint at the knuckle.
The shock absorber and coil spring mount to the
wishbones to control vertical movement. Double
wishbone designs allow the engineer to carefully
control the motion of the wheel throughout
suspension travel, controlling such parameters as
camber angle, caster angle, toe pattern, roll
center height, scrub radius, scuff and more.
The multi-link type is used for the rear
suspension to distribute the internal force (load)
applied to the link while driving. Also, the change
in camber or toe and shock load from the road
has been minimized by optimizing the link
arrangement.

3) Caster
The angle between the vertical line and king pin, which fixes the steering knuckle and front axle,
(steering column which connects the top and bottom ball joints in the independent axle type) when
viewed the tires from the side.
CasterFront4.80˚±0.50˚
Rear -
Disadvantages:Impact from the road is transferred to the steering wheel (steering wheel turns)
Poor straightness -
- Advantages:Directional force to go straight (following control)
Restoring force of the wheel (restored to the straight ahead direction)
Prevention of wheel shimmy (wheels wobble left and right) -
-
-
Negative caster: ▶Top of the king pin is tilted forward from the vertical line of the wheel center
when viewed the tires from the side Positive caster: ▶
With considering the height difference between the wheel centers of the front and rear
wheels. (Under standard condition that the vehicle is on a level ground) Caster: ▶
Advantages:Smaller turning radius -Top of the king pin is tilted backward from the vertical line of the wheel center
when viewed the tires from the side
