Competition Package Suspension

On vehicle that are equipped with the optional competition package, special front struts are used.

Adjustable Front Strut:





The front struts used on a vehicle equipped with the competition package are adjustable. The adjustable front struts use a unique strut shaft which has an adjustment rod through the center of it. The adjustment rod is used to adjust the compression dampening of the strut. By increasing the compression dampening of the strut, the jounce reaction of the strut is slowed down. This slowing down of the jounce reaction of the strut, stiffens the suspension thus improving the handling of the vehicle.

Adjustable Strut Adjustment Knob:





The compression dampening of the strut is adjusted using the adjustment knob which is supplied with the vehicle at the time of purchase.
