TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
The front suspension consists of the following components
- Wheel bearings
- Wheel hubs
- Lower arms
- Stabilizer bar, bushings, brackets and links
- Struts
- Coil springs
- Wheel knuckles
The front suspension utilizes a MacPherson strut system. This suspension system incorporates a strut and coil spring that takes the place of the upper arm and upper ball joint. The strut performs 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 arm and ball joint for the lower (unloaded) pivot point of the wheel knuckle.
