Design Description
The front suspension is independent, double wishbone, with a helical coil spring, telescopic hydraulic shock absorber and anti-roll bar.
The axis of the lower arms is fixed with two bolts on the cross member, which in turn is attached to the front spars. Two packages of spacers and shims are installed between the axle and the cross member, which set the angles of longitudinal and transverse inclination of the front wheel turning axis. The axis of the upper arms is a bolt passing through the mudguard strut. The levers on the axles rotate on rubber-metal hinges. A steering knuckle is attached to the levers on ball joints. A wheel hub with a brake disc is mounted on the pivot of the steering knuckle on two roller tapered bearings. The right wheel hub nut has a left-hand thread and is marked in the form of dots on the end.
The front suspension springs are of a cylindrical type, with the upper end resting against the mudguard strut through the support cup with a rubber gasket, and with the lower end against the support cup of the lower arm.
The shock absorbers are located inside the springs and are attached by a rod to the body through rubber cushions, and by the body lug - to the lower arm through a rubber-metal hinge.
Roll Stabilizer (spring steel torsion bar) designed to reduce the lateral roll of the car when cornering. It is attached through rubber cushions with its central part to the front side members of the body, and the ends to the lower suspension arms.
