Front suspension
Type − Independent with shock absorbers, lower wishbones, coil springs and anti-roll bar. Suspension struts and shock absorbers are the defining elements of the suspension. The anti-roll bar is connected by struts to the wishbones and the subframe.
Strut spring - Concentric. Mounted on the shock absorber. It is important to maintain the installation position of the spring.
Anti-roll bar - Connected to the frame cross member by mounting clamps and rubber pads. Connected to the transverse levers by struts.
Anti-roll bar diameter - Varies by model. In the standard version - 25 mm
Installing wheels
Attention! Front wheel alignment must be performed in a workshop. The data below is indicative only. This means that these values depend on the type of engine the vehicle is equipped with, and only the workshop has the appropriate wheel alignment values.
Front wheel camber − 0°±30'
- adjustment − not allowed.
- tolerances − depend on the deformation of the suspension
Longitudinal tilt of the front wheel kingpin - 3°30'±30', non-adjustable
Front wheel kingpin camber 11°28', non-adjustable
Wheel alignment, vehicle unloaded − +1 - +3 mm, positive toe-in
Installation - One turn of the tie rod moves the wheel alignment by approximately 3 mm
Please note: Positive toe-in means that the distance between the front wheels is less than the distance between the same wheels at the rear.
Front wheel hub bearing
Type − Double row ball bearing, pressed into the steering knuckle
Hub bearing clearance − 0 - 0.05 mm
Rear suspension
Type − Independent with wheel suspension on longitudinal arms connected by a beam, with a transverse rod, anti-roll bar and telescopic shock absorbers
Steering
Type − With hydraulic booster, rack and pinion mechanism. Driver and passenger airbags are available upon request
