Description and Operation
A newly developed Mc-Pherson front suspension with L-shaped lower arms is used. These
lower suspension arms are linked via two horizontal rubber mountings to a reinforced and
extremely rigid front axle crossmember.
Depending on the vehicle variant, a stabiliser may be installed. This is connected to the
suspension strut by two stabiliser link rods. The ball heads of the stabiliser link rods are
provided with an Allen screw fixing.
