1.1. Front suspension assembly (models with anti-roll bar mounted directly on lower arms) 1. Suspension strut; 2. Coil spring; 3. Steering gear; 4. Track-rod; 5. Driveshafts; 6. Hub carrier; 7. Lower arm; 8. Anti-roll bar (not fitted to all models)
The rear suspension is of the independent trailing arm type, which consists of two trailing arms, linked by a tubular crossmember. Torsion bars linking the trailing arms are situated in front of and behind the crossmember and on certain models, an antiroll bar linking the arms passes through the centre of the crossmember (see illustration).
1.2. Rear suspension assembly 1. Flexible bushes; 2. Torsion bars; 3. Trailing arm; 4. Shock absorber; 5. Anti-roll bar (not fitted to all models)
The complete rear axle assembly is mounted onto the vehicle underbody by four rubber mountings.
The steering column has a universal joint fitted at its lower end, which is clamped to the steering gear pinion by means of a clamp bolt and nut.
The steering gear is mounted on the engine compartment bulkhead. It is connected by two track-rods (with balljoints at their inner and outer ends) to the steering arms projecting rearwards from the suspension struts. The track-rod ends are threaded, to facilitate steering angle adjustment.
Power-assisted steering is fitted as standard on some models and is available as an option on all others. The hydraulic steering system is powered by a belt-driven pump, which is driven from the crankshaft pulley, or by an electric pump mounted in the engine compartment.
