Front suspension: independent,
McPherson type.The front suspension crossmember made from
galvanized steel to improve resistance to structural corrosion has
been strengthened with box sections at the bodyshell attachments
to guarantee improved passenger compartment noise filtration.The cast iron track control arms, have new
bushes fitted at the rear of the vertical axle to improve the absorption
of vibrations and road holding round bends.Side load type coil spring to reduce tangential
forces on the shock absorber stem with a consequent improvement
in the absorption of small irregularities in the road surface.Double acting telescopic hydraulic shock
absorbers.Upper shock absorber mounting with improved
axial rigidity to improve comfort.Steering knuckle with increased transverse
camber angle to improve the camber angle when cornering (wheel perpendicular to
the ground).Axial bearing.Cap secured to the bodyshell turret.Front suspension with anti-roll bar.
