1) Front Suspension (Macperson Strut Type)

Front suspension supports the vehicle weight and absorber the from . And, in this type of suspension, the linkage tie rod is mounted on the knuckle.

Macperson strut type suspension

Macperson strut type suspension is the which has the spring on the strut integrated with shock absorber. The lower arm is installed on sub frame and large strut damper is installed on the knuckle to support the . This type of suspension is normally applied to the vehicle with monocoque body, especially on the front wheel drive type. The upper part with spring is mounted at body mount and the strut with shock absorber is linked on the steering knuckle.

▶Advantages 1. Compact and simple design 2. Stable 3. Good load distribution and easy installation 4. Less effect from tire up/down movement

▶Disadvantages 1. Comparatively weak to the from road surface and lateral shock due to long strut and single swing arm 0000-00 08-9

2) Rear Suspension (Multi-link Type)

Multi-link type suspension is the independent suspension. It provides good ride comfort and drivability by reducing the coil spring weight. Also, it increases the space for passenger compartment by lowering the floor. This type of suspension consists of multiple links such as trailing arm, upper arm, lower arm and track rod.

Its energy according to the load shapes and to ensure absorption rate per weight is the drivability. higher than that of the and it allows to absorb small vibration properly resulted in keeping the ride comforts. Therefore, it's difficult to make an effect on vibration because there is not any between coils.

Stabilizer assembly

If the spring with lower spring constant is applied on the vehicle in order to increase the "ride comforts", the vehicle's slope increases on turning due to the centrifugal force. Because its trend increases for the independent suspension system, the stabilizer bar should be applied to the system in order to make a balance the vehicle.

Damper/shock absorber assembly

This vehicle uses the strut type shock absorber. This shock absorber is connected to the rod in the strut. This relieves the vertical vibrations of vehicle to provide ride comforts, prevents the spring break, enhances drivability, and extends the life span of steering components.

- The telescopic shock absorber consists of a tube with piston and rod and a cylinder tube. The piston has an orifice and valve and the cylinder is filled with oil. The double action cylindrical type shock absorber restrains the vibrations by using oil resistance. This provides better drivability even though the structure is complicated. This vehicle uses the gas shock absorber. 08-14
