Front suspension: independent,
McPherson type.The front suspension crossmember has been
stiffened with box sections at the bodyshell attachments and features
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 with a hydraulic stop to damp out vertical oscillations
without transmitting and generating noise and vibration;Struts reinforced to accommodate the increased
link size.New upper shock absorber mounting.New design dome blocksBigger diameter stabiliser bar to limit
vehicle roll on corners.Axial bearing.Cap secured to the bodyshell turret.Front suspension with anti-roll bar.Body attachment stiffness has been increasedThe stiffer upper attachment dome reduces
the level of noise entering the body to improve comfort levels.
