FRONT END AND STEERING

Front end
The front suspension units are mounted on
a strong box member. The member is bolt-
ed firmly to the front section of the body.
The front wheels are journalled in tapered
roller bearings. The front springs consist
of coil springs in which telescopic shock
absorbers are fitted. The car is provided
with stabilizers secured to the lower con-
trol arms and to the body.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Servo steering
The servo cylinder and guide valves are
built into the cam-and-roller type steering
gear. When the steering wheel is turned,
the guide valves direct the pressure oil
from the servo pump to one of the sides
of the piston in the servo cylinder. The
resultant pressure on the piston side af-
fected assists in turning the steering
wheel.
