The rear suspension is independent, with transverse and trailing arms, telescopic shock absorbers and anti-roll bar.
The main elements of the front suspension of Peugeot 605 cars are suspension struts, wishbones, anti-roll bar, steering knuckles, on which the wheel hubs are mounted.
MacPherson strut struts (McPherson) consist of a coiled coil spring and a telescopic hydraulic shock absorber. The struts are attached to the mudguards of the body and the steering knuckles and, when the car is moving, provide suspension damping and dampen vibrations. The lower part of the steering knuckles is connected by a ball joint to the transverse levers. The steering knuckles are moved to the right or left by tie rods, which impart rotational movement of the steering wheel to the knuckles.
The transverse levers are connected by silent blocks to the transverse beam. Together with the suspension struts, they receive and dampen the vibrational vibrations of the front suspension.
To reduce the lateral roll of the car, especially when cornering, an anti-roll bar is installed. The stabilizer bar is attached to the body with brackets, rubber pads and brackets, and its struts are attached to the suspension strut and subframe.
The suspension of vehicles with adjustable ride height, damper stiffness, etc., is controlled by the corresponding control unit. In this case, the suspension struts are somewhat different from conventional struts.
Attention! Welding and straightening work on the bearing and guiding elements of the front line is prohibited. Always replace self-locking nuts and rusted bolts and nuts with new ones when carrying out repairs.
