Front Suspension: Description
The front suspension is a combination strut and spring design. The control arms pivot at the frame. See Fig 1. The frame has isolation mounts to the body and conventional rubber bushings for control arm pivots. The upper end of the strut is isolated by a rubber mount, and contains a bearing to allow for wheel turning.
The lower end of the steering knuckle pivots on a ball joint riveted to the control arm. The ball joint is fastened to the steering knuckle with a pinch bolt.
