Assembly carrier
The assembly carrier holds the traverse link, anti-
roll bar and steering rack.
It is made up of three parts and has a central
subframe to which consoles are connected on
the left and right. The components of the assem-
bly carrier are made from aluminium.
The assembly carrier is bolted rigidly to the body
at six points. This stiffens the front section of the
body.
This connection and the optimum configuration
of the rubber/metal bearings in the traverse link
and the strut bearing allow good driving dyna-
mics and body acoustics.
