TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
a Refer to the procedure.
The front suspension consists of the following components
- Wheel bearings
- Wheel hubs
- Wheel studs
- Front and rear lower arms
- Upper arms
- Stabilizer bar
- Stabilizer bar bushings
- Stabilizer bar links
- Shock and spring assemblies
- Wheel knuckles
The front suspension is an independent suspension design. This front suspension uses 3 parallel arms (one upper arm and 2 lower arms). Each arm has a mounting position to the chassis and a ball joint attachment at the wheel knuckle. The shock absorber mounts to the lower arm and along with the spring, controls vertical movement. A stabilizer bar and links are included to control suspension lean/sway during turns. The multiple arm design allows for carefully controlled motion of the wheel throughout suspension travel, controlling such parameters as camber angle, caster angle and toe.
