Suspension



Front suspension

1 - draft of the stabilizer;
2 - the lower arm;
3 - shock;
4 - coil spring;
5 - the stabilizer;
6 - a traverse.


PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. A new modified design provides excellent driving characteristics, comfort and excellent handling. This is achieved by varying the geometric parameters and parameters of rubber suspension bushings, stabilizer using a larger diameter and elimination of sources of vibration.
2. Apply a strut-type front suspension with modified lower arms Type A, coil springs and oil-filled shock absorbers.
3. Stabilizer with control rods with ball joint provides increased resistance to roll with a small suspension travel.
4. The use of shock absorbers with a very low rate of stroke provides cushioning at a low speed.
5. In order to improve handling on bends front suspension has a negative camber angle.
6. Increasing the value of the negative camber angle and Caster can improve tire contact with the road surface.
7. Increase the angle Caster improves handling when driving in a straight line.
8. Traverse reduces torsional bending of the body and suspension.

Rear suspension

1 - the rear cross member;
2 - track rod (rear);
3 - coil spring;
4 - shock;
5 - control rod stabilizer;
6 - Longitudinal traction;
7 - Rear Stabilizer;
8 - track rod (front).


PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. The design of the rear suspension linkage includes a layout that ensures stability control and ride comfort, as well as shock absorbers with the ability to absorb shocks at low speeds.
2. Apply three suspension rods and independent struts comprising two transverse rods, longitudinal rod, a stabilizer and a shock absorber on each side.
3. Stabilizer with rods equipped with ball joints, stabilizer provides increased strength at the bank with a small stroke.
4. Shock improve cushioning at a low speed due to the use of specially designed valves.
5. In order to improve driving stability and comfortable ride in the elements of the suspension, rubber-metal bushings are used.

Crossbar

To fix the front suspension crossmember using positive displacement. It contributes to the rigidity of the suspension in the transverse direction. In addition, with the ability to optimize the placement of the attachment of the engine reduces vibrations.


Traverse

The yoke is fixed to the front cross member and is designed to prevent bending of the cross member and body during braking and cornering.

Shock absorber

1 - a rubber component;
2 - ball bearings;
3 - stop forward stroke;
4 - coil spring;
5 - shock.

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Apply high reliability double-acting telescopic shock absorbers.
2. Valves with a low speed of travel of the piston ensures excellent service at low speed, which significantly improves handling.

Springs

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Wound springs are displaced, thus reducing the lateral forces applied to the piston rod and a shock absorber to reduce sliding friction. This provides a smooth operation of the shock absorber, and increases driving comfort.
2. When the center rack is displaced by the action of reactive forces, shock-absorber rod is subjected to bending stress. In order to minimize this phenomenon outside of the tension coil spring exceeds the voltage inside.

The lower arm and rubber bushing

1 - the spherical hinge;
2 - the lower arm;
3 - Front hinge;
4 - rear hinge;
5 - Oil;
6 - an arm.

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. In the two points fastened to the front cross member lower arm type A new design. It is fastened with rubber bushings, providing flexibility and improving suspension comfort and handling while driving.
2. The front lower arm pivot has dual elastic member and an inner metal sleeve. Hinge provides stiffness in the lateral direction and elasticity while moving back and forth, as well as the direction of rotation. This dampens the blows pothole.
3. Rear mounted oil-filled joint. This helps prevent angular oscillations at high speeds.

Link stabilizer

Using a ball joint on the thrust of the stabilizer increases the stability of the car roll.


Transverse and longitudinal traction

The transverse rods of different lengths is a new development. When using long rods decreased significantly change the height of the roll center. It was also reduced displacement of the center roll in the transverse direction. As a result, improved grip of the tires and sensitivity to vehicle roll.

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. By increasing the length of the front and rear transverse rods decreased significantly change the height of the roll center, which led to an increase in the stability of steering and grip when cornering. And the use of the rear traction, longer than the front, which reduced toe variation during forward / reverse motion.
2. By moving the transverse rods to the rear centerline of the bridge is reduced change in convergence caused by the horizontally directed force that the steering stability improves.


Adjusting camber angle and Caster

The adjustment of camber and angle Caster can be done by changing the position of the rubber damper element. A total collapse of the front wheels and the angle Caster can be adjusted in the range of 30 ?�.


Adjusting toe

Toe is adjusted by turning the bolt head with a cam mounted on the transverse rod. This approach can increase ease of maintenance and to carry out precise adjustment. Turning the adjustment screws with the cam head / cam plate one notch positive convergence changes by about 3.2 mm.
