Front Suspension: Description
The front suspension is a combination strut and spring design. The control arms pivot at the frame. See Fig 1 . The frame has isolation mounts to the body and conventional rubber bushings for control arm pivots. The upper end of the strut is isolated by a rubber mount, and contains a bearing to allow for wheel turning.
The lower end of the steering knuckle pivots on a ball joint riveted to the control arm. The ball joint is fastened to the steering knuckle with a pinch bolt.
