Front Side

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Infiniti QX56 and 2011 Infiniti QX56. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Oil enters from oil inlet outlet hole (A) and flows into lower chamber (3) via outside oil path of cylinder inside. Oil enters from oil inlet outlet hole (B) and flows into upper chamber (1). With the pressure difference between oil flowed into the upper chamber and lower chamber, the piston (2) moves up and down and conveys a force generated through this motion to the tires.
