The links attach to the vehicle with bolts and bushings 
at their inner pivot points and to the steering knuckle, 
which is part of the front wheel spindle, at their outer 
points. 
The knuckle is mounted to the upper and lower links 
each of which has a ball joint to permit pivoting of the 
knuckle for steering operations.  The hub is supported 
in position on the knuckle spindle by means of the two 
bearings and the rotor is mounted on the hub. 
The front suspension is an independent type utilizing 
torsion bar springs (4

The torsion bar spring has splines on each end.  Height 
control is provided on the third crossmember. Both the 
upper and lower links are pressed steel and the torsion 
bar is supported at the ends by lower link in front and by 
height control arm in rear.
