The front suspension on vehicles from 2007 model year features a common tubular stabilizer bar across all engine variants.
The suspension arms have been designed for maximum ground clearance. Suspension geometry can be adjusted via the strut top mount for camber and on the steering rack track rod ends for toe-in.
The following wheel travels are shown for on road and off-road vehicle operation. The difference between the two operating conditions is a result of operation of the air suspension front cross-link valve. When the cross-link valve is opened, the suspension travel is as given for off-road wheel travel. When the cross-link valve is closed the suspension travel given for on road applies.
The off road mode wheel travel is
- 175 mm bump
- 95 mm rebound
- This gives a total of 270 mm off road suspension travel.
The on road standard wheel travel is
- 115 mm bump
- 155 mm rebound
- This gives a total of 270 mm on road suspension travel.
Note. Overall wheel travel stated above will still be achieved when both wheels are moving in parallel together.
The front suspension comprises
- Two air spring damping struts
- Subframe
- Stabilizer bar
- Stabilizer bar links
- Suspension arms
- Two hub assemblies.
