FRONT SUSPENSION
The functions of axle and suspension system include receiving the torque generated by
engine and passed via transmission system; producing the traction force between the road
surface and the vehicle body through the adhesive force between the driving wheel and the
ground in order to keep the whole vehicle steering normally; passing and bearing the
counterforce on the wheel from different directions and relieving the impact and shake from
the road to the vehicle body in order to ensure the stability and maneuverability of the whole
vehicle. The front suspension is composed of the sub-frame, lateral stabilizer bar, control arm
and etc.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION
----Loosen the opening of the joint bracket of
the front shock absorber assy and clip it
to the bolt of the steering knuckle
arm(tightening the lock nut to 80N•m),
(shown as the picture)
----Remove the joint bolt of the control arm
assy and the front steering knuckle with
braker, and then release the front control
arm assy.
Inspection of the control arm: check the
situations of the damage crack and bend.
----Loosen the four bolts amounted on the
sub-frame of the steering gear with tie rod
assy (the specified tightening torque is
30N•m). (shown as the picture)
