Suspension strut: consists of a coil spring and a telescopic shock absorber that works inside the coils of the spring. Internal stops in the shock strut limit the downward expansion of the spring. When the spring is compressed hard, for example when hitting a pothole, the stop stop is activated. It does not allow the spring to lock and the abrupt destruction of the shock absorber.
strut dome (in the wing): it includes a shock absorber. Top designed as a rubber support (thrust bearing), which, guided by the centering ring, rests on the upper and lower poppet disc. The shock absorber piston rod is screwed into the thrust bearing.
Steering swivel support: holds the lower end of the suspension strut with two clamp bolts. Connected by a ball joint to a wishbone made of spheroidal graphite cast iron. The transverse link is movably located in the axle bearing and absorbs lateral forces.
Cross stabilizer: attached to the bottom of the body with the possibility of rotation. Connected to the corresponding transverse arm. It minimizes the lateral tilt of the body when cornering.
Steering rack: attached to the axle support behind the engine. The two-section steering shaft acts directly on the rack, to the ends of which the right and left transverse steering rods are screwed. Steering movements are transmitted to the pitman arm of the steering pivot and therefore to the wheels.
Focus front axle design convinces with excellent steering elasticity
Good depreciation is implemented by MacPherson strut 1; compact rack and pinion steering 2 is sensitive to course changes; sufficient sizes of disc brakes 3 always correspond to the engine power; cross stabilizer 4 improves cornering performance; transverse levers in the shape of the letter L 5 control the front wheels in the longitudinal and lateral directions.
