Description and Operation

Vehicles with standard suspension

Description

Standard shock absorber

Upper arm

Spring seat

Rear subframe

Rear lower arm adjustment cam nut

Stabilizer bar, bushings and clamps

Bump stop

Spring and spring upper pad

Rear lower arm and spring lower pad

Stabilizer bar link

Front lower arm

Wheel knuckle

Wheel hub

Item 1: Shock Absorber

The shock absorber includes a unique upper mount damper to provide additional noise reduction.

Item 10 : Stabilizer Bar Link

The stabilizer bar link is a combination link. This consists of a solid link attached to the stabilizer bar with a retaining nut and a ball joint link attached to the
wheel knuckle with a retaining nut. The ball joint link provides a quicker response to suspension movement. This enables the stabilizer bar to respond more
directly to wheelstation movement.

Item 1: Shock Absorber

Nivomat shock absorbers (if equipped) provide load-leveling rear suspension.

Item 2: Upper Arm

The upper arm is a different shape to the standard suspension upper arm to allow clearance of the shock absorber.

Item 10 : Stabilizer Bar Link

The stabilizer bar link is a combination link. This consists of a solid link attached to the stabilizer bar with a retaining nut and a ball joint link attached to the
wheel knuckle with a retaining nut. The ball joint link provides a quicker response to suspension movement. This enables the stabilizer bar to respond more
directly to wheelstation movement.

Item 1: Shock Absorber

Continuous damping control shock absorbers (if equipped) provide dynamic front suspension. A continuous damping control shock absorber creates a
damping force which depends on the velocity of the vehicle and an electrical current applied to the continuous damping control shock absorber. The
electronic stability program (ESP) sensors, acceleration sensors and displacement sensors provide information to the dynamic suspension electronic control
unit (ECU), which detects the state of heave, roll, pitch, cornering and acceleration of the vehicle. The ECU then calculates the best damping characteristics
for each wheel within 2 ms. The ECU sends an individual electrical current to each shock absorber to control the amount of damping required.

Item 2: Upper Arm

The upper arm is a different shape to the standard suspension upper arm to allow clearance of the shock absorber.

Item 10 : Stabilizer Bar Link

The stabilizer bar link is a combination link. This consists of a solid link attached to the stabilizer bar with a retaining nut and a ball joint link attached to the
wheel knuckle with a retaining nut. The ball joint link provides a quicker response to suspension movement. This enables the stabilizer bar to respond more
directly to wheelstation movement.
