Suspension: Description and Operation






The car has independent front suspension incorporating MacPherson struts, which are fitted between the steering swivel members and the body and are therefore direct-acting on the wheels.
Besides being of compact, robust and reliable design, MacPherson strut suspension also provides good isolation from road noise.
The long stroke of the strut makes for excellent road holding and a comfortable ride. The spring and damper act in the ratio of 1:1 to the wheel.
