The front suspension strut consists of a shock absorber strut, a cylindrical coil spring, an upper and lower support. Outside, a bracket for attaching a rotary kulag and a bracket for attaching a ball joint of a stabilizer strut are welded to the strut body.
The cylindrical spring with its lower coil rests on the lower support cup, and the upper coil rests on the upper support cup, fixed on the shock absorber rod and consisting of a housing, a rubber cushion and a bearing. The bearing allows the shock absorber strut, together with the spring and the upper spring support cup, to rotate when the steering wheel is turned, and the rubber cushion (damper) prevents the transmission of vibrations to the car body. Also, a compression stroke buffer is installed on the shock absorber rod, which protects the car body from sharp blows during suspension breakdown. To protect the shock absorber rod from dirt and dust, a casing is installed on it.
The front suspension strut is attached with its upper part to the reinforced support of the car body with a nut through a thrust washer. From below, the rack is screwed to the steering knuckle with two bolts and nuts, and the steering knuckle, in turn, is attached to the front suspension arm through a ball joint. An unregulated ball bearing in which the wheel hub rotates is pressed into the hole of the steering knuckle and fixed with a retaining ring.
Front suspension details:
1 - steering knuckle;
2 - rack;
3 - anti-roll bar;
4 — a bar of the stabilizer of cross stability;
5 - subframe;
6 - lever;
7 - ball bearing.
The ends of the anti-roll bar are connected to the front suspension struts of the car with the help of stabilizer struts. The stabilizer bar is fixed through rubber pads on the front subframe.
