The suspension elements consist of cylindrical spiral springs.

The stop for the spring on extension is incorporated in the damper. The movement of the spring on compression is limited by a specially designed stop on the damper piston rod.This stop ensures smooth damping of the oscillating movement of the spring, limiting stresses on the attachment points to a minimum.
