The wheels are mounted on two triangular wishbone: the upper arm with rubber mounts connected to the body, lower arm fixed to the carrier beam bridge. Both levers are through the knuckle joints. Springs and gas shock mounted separately from each other on the lower control arm. In contrast to the conventional shock absorber designs not used as the lead element of the suspension, which ensures timely and smooth running operation. Stabilizer bar provides a better grip of the front wheels to the road, especially when cornering.
