TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
The front suspension consists of the following components
- Wheel bearing and wheel hubs
- Wheel studs
- Lower arms
- Stabilizer bar
- Stabilizer bar links
- Struts
- Springs
- Wheel knuckles
The front suspension utilizes a MacPherson strut system.
This suspension system incorporates a strut assembly that takes the place of the upper arm and ball joint. The strut carries out the function of a shock absorber and is encompassed by a coil spring. The strut and spring assembly supports the weight of the vehicle and is also the pivot point for the steering knuckle. This system uses a lower control arm and ball joint for the lower (unloaded) pivot point of the steering knuckle.
