DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Front Suspension
Overview
E42462
NOTE: The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) sensor

ring is incorporated into the wheel hub. Incorrect
installation of the wheel hub would result in an ABS
malfunction.
The front suspension features McPherson struts
and 'L' shaped lower arms which are attached to
the front axle crossmember by means of two
maintenance-free bushings.
The ball joint is attached to the lower arm by means
of three rivets. Bolt-on replacement ball joints are
available for service operations.
The correct installation position must be observed
when installing the strut and spring assembly turret
support bearings. To make sure that the strut and
spring assembly turret support bearings, springs
and piston rods are all aligned correctly, the spring
retainers and strut and spring assembly turret
support bearings have alignment marks.
