Design features of the front suspension

            0

Front suspension (pic. 7.1) independent, lever-spring MacPherson type, with telescopic shock absorber struts, coil springs, lower wishbones and anti-roll bar.



Pic. 7.1. Front suspension: 1 – a rack of the stabilizer of cross stability; 2 - spring; 3 – a protective cover of a rack; 4 - the upper support of the shock absorber; 5 - telescopic shock absorber; 6 - wheel hub; 7 – rotary fist; 8 - ball bearing; 9 - lower lever; 10 - silent block; 11 - bracket for fastening the bar of the stabilizer bar; 12 – a bar of the stabilizer of cross stability; 13 - 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. The coil spring, compression buffer, strut guard and top support are assembled on the shock absorber strut.

The upper support of the shock absorber strut is attached to the body mudguard strut with three nuts. Due to its elasticity, the support dampens high-frequency vibrations.


The shock absorber strut is connected to the steering knuckle with a coupling bolt.

The lower part of the steering knuckle is connected to the ball joint of the lower arm of the front suspension. The steering knuckles are made in one piece with the trunnion. A hub with a double-row angular contact ball bearing pressed into it is installed on the pivot of the steering knuckle of the front suspension.

The lower control arms are attached to the subframe of the car using silent blocks.

The anti-roll bar is connected to the subframe of the car with two brackets through rubber bushings, and with the shock absorber struts - stabilizer struts.
