3D1-2 FRONT SUSPENSION (4WD)
The front suspension is the strut type independent suspension. The upper end of a strut is anchored to the vehicle
body by a strut support. The strut and strut support are isolated by a strut rubber support. A strut bearing is also
installed a little lower to the strut rubber support.
The lower end of the strut is connected to the upper end of a steering knuckle and lower end of knuckle is attached
to the stud of a ball joint which is incorporated in a unit with a suspension control arm. And connected to this steering
knuckle is the tie-rod end.
Thus, movement of the steering wheel is transmitted to the tie-rod end and then to the knuckle, eventually causing
the wheel and tire to move. In this operation, with the movement of the knuckle, the strut also rotates by means
of the strut bearing and lower ball joint.
