SsangYong Rodius (2013 year). Manual - part 156

07-8

Upper Arm

The upper arm is mounted to the frame 
and the knuckle and it relieves the load 
delivered from the tire to the knuckle. 
This enables to absorb the various 
impacts according to the load shapes 
and to ensure the drivability.

Lower Arm

Knuckle

There are two types of knuckle (4WD, 
2WD)

Cam bolt

1) Front Suspension (Double Wishbone)

The lower arm is mounted to the knuckle, the 

shock absorber and the lower arm assembly. It 

relieves the load delivered from the tire to the 

knuckle. This enables to absorb the various 

impacts according to the load shapes and to 

ensure the drivability.

Shock Absorber Assembly

Stabilizer Bar Assembly

The stabilizer bar is intended to force each side of the vehicle to lower, or rise, to similar heights, to 
reduce the sideways tilting (roll) of the vehicle on curves, sharp corners, or large bumps. The basic 
function is to force the opposite wheel's shock absorber, spring or suspension rod to lower, or rise, to a 
similar level as the other wheel. In a fast turn, a vehicle tends to drop closer onto the outer wheels, and 
the sway bar will soon force the opposite wheel to also get closer to the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle 
tends to "hug" the road, closer in a fast turn, where all wheels are closer to the body. After the fast turn, 
then the downward pressure is reduced, and the paired wheels can return to their normal height against 
the vehicle, kept at similar levels by the connecting stabilizer bar.

Coil spring

-

The shock absorber assembly reduces the effect of traveling over 

rough ground, leading to improved ride quality and increases in 

comfort. While shock absorber serves the purpose of limiting 

excessive suspension movement, their intended sole purpose is to 

dampen spring oscillations. The shock absorber in this vehicle uses 

the gas to absorb excess energy from the spring.

Shock absorber

-

Keep the clearance to drive shaft.

To prevent the transverse force to shock absorber, the upper 

center line and the lower center line of shock absorber are 

placed on same line.
