Design features of the front suspension

            0

The front suspension is independent, MacPherson strut type, with telescopic shock absorber struts, coil springs, lower wishbones and anti-roll bar.



Pic. 7.1. Front suspension (left-hand side): 1 - bar of the stabilizer bar; 2 – a bracket of fastening of a bar of the stabilizer of cross-section stability; 3 – the plug of a back support of the lever; 4 - lower lever; 5 – a rack of the stabilizer of cross stability; 6 - lower spring plate; 7 – a protective cover of a rack; 8 - spring; 9 - the upper support of the shock absorber; 10 - telescopic shock absorber; 11 – a rotary fist; 12 - wheel hub; 13 - ball bearing; 14 - lever silent block; 15 - cross member of the front suspension

The main element of the front suspension is a telescopic shock absorber strut, which combines the functions of a telescopic element of the guide mechanism and a damping element of the vertical vibrations of the wheel relative to the body. A coiled coil spring 8 is assembled on the shock absorber strut (pic. 7.1), upper support 9 complete with bearing and compression buffer, through which the load is transferred to the car body.


The shock absorber strut is connected to the lower suspension arm 4 by a ball joint 13. The lower arms are attached to the front suspension cross member using silent blocks 14 and rubber bushings 3 of the rear support. The crossbar, in turn, is attached to the side members of the body.

The anti-roll bar with rubber bushings installed on it is connected to the cross member 15 of the front suspension of the car with two brackets 2, and with the front suspension strut - struts 5 of the stabilizer.

The hubs of the 12 front wheels are mounted on double-row angular contact ball bearings.
