hydraulic and pressurized to reduce operating noise.To reduce the static sliding friction as
much as possible, the stem guide anti-friction bushes have split
seals, to offset the effect of the internal gas pressure, and are
made with glass fibre reinforced Teflon. The shock absorber piston
has a Teflon seal to improve sliding. The walls and spring support
plate are made of reduced thickness high-tensile steel.The top mounting is made with flexible isolation
of the stem, which is separated from the spring support (by interposing
a rubber pad) and the buffer. A tapered retaining system means eliminates
the need to bolt the block to the body. This brings advantages in
terms of assembly and reliability.At the top of the shock absorber, there
is a top end-of-travel buffer made of 'CELLASTO' (closed-cell polyurethane,
a material which retains its original elasticity characteristics
for a long time) which gradually intervenes as the limit position
is reached.The bottom of the shock absorber is anchored
to a fork, which is secred to the suspension's lower track control
arm. The torsion bar reaction link is also attached to the fork
Characteristic
of working principle 4410C stabilizer bar and anchorage struts.
Springs
The coil springs are mounted offset in relation
to the shock absorber's axis, to reduce sliding friction.On the coils resting on the top and bottom
plates, a rubber ring has been interposed to prevent noise during
operation.
