Front suspension

            0


Pic. 7.1. The location of the elements of the front suspension on the car: 1 - shock absorber strut; 2 – rotary fist; 3 - ball bearing; 4 - the lower arm of the front suspension; 5 - bushing of the rear support of the front suspension arm; 6 - silent block of the front support of the front suspension arm; 7 – front suspension subframe; 8 – a bar of the stabilizer of cross stability; 9 - anti-roll bar.


The front suspension is independent, MacPherson strut type, with telescopic shock absorber struts, coil springs, lower wishbones and anti-roll bar.



The main element of the front suspension is a telescopic shock absorber strut, which combines the functions of a telescopic element of the guide mechanism and a damping element of the vertical vibrations of the wheel relative to the body. A coiled coil spring, an upper support assembly with a bearing and a compression buffer are assembled on the shock absorber strut, through which the load is transferred to the car body.


Shock absorber 1 (pic. 7.1) connected to the steering knuckle 2 with a coupling bolt. The steering knuckle is connected to the lower arm 4 through a ball joint 3. The lower arms are attached to the subframe 7 of the front suspension using silent blocks 6 and rubber bushings 5 of the rear support. The subframe, in turn, is bolted to the body spars.

The anti-roll bar with rubber bushings installed on it is connected to the subframe 7 of the front suspension of the car with two brackets, and with the front suspension strut - to the stabilizer struts 9.

The front wheel hubs are mounted on double row angular contact ball bearings.
