EXCERPT:
SUSPENSION Front Suspension

Upper Control Arm

The forged-aluminum upper control arm is a wishbone design and connects to the vehicle body through two plain bushes, and links to the swan neck wheel knuckle by an integral ball joint. The upper control arm is inclined to provide anti-dive characteristics under heavy braking, while also controlling geometry for vehicle straight-line stability.

Lower Control Arm

The forged aluminum lower control arms are of the wishbone design; the arms separate to allow for optimum bush tuning:
The rear lateral control arm is fitted with a bush at its inner end which locates between brackets on the subframe. The arm is secured with an eccentric bolt which provides the adjustment of the suspension camber geometry. The outer end of the control arm has a tapered hole which locates on a ball joint fitted to the wheel knuckle. An integral clevis bracket on the forward face of the lateral control arm allows for the attachment of the forward control arm. A bush is fitted below the clevis bracket to provide for the attachment of the stabilizer bar link. A cross-axis joint is fitted to a cross-hole in the control arm to provide the location for the clevis attachment of the spring and damper assembly.
The forward control arm is fitted with a fluid-block rubber bush at its inner end which locates between brackets on the subframe. The arm is secured with an eccentric bolt which provides adjustment of the castor and camber geometry. The outer end of the control arm is fitted with a cross-axis joint and locates in the integral clevis bracket on the lateral control arm.

Wheel Knuckle

The cast aluminum wheel knuckle is a swan neck design and attaches to the upper control arm and lower lateral control arm. The lower lateral control arm locates on a non serviceable ball-joint integral with the wheel knuckle. The lower boss on the rear of the knuckle provides for the attachment of the steering gear tie-rod ball joint.
The wheel knuckle also provides the mounting locations for the:
Wheel hub and bearing assembly.
The wheel speed sensor (integral to the wheel hub and bearing assembly).
Brake caliper and disc shield.

Stabilizer Bar

The tubular stabilizer bar helps to control the roll rate of the vehicle. There are three versions of stabilizer bar, depending on which engine is installed:
30 mm (1.18 in.) diameter joggled, on 3.0L diesel vehicles.
30 mm (1.18 in.) diameter straight, on 5.0L naturally aspirated and supercharger (SC) vehicles.
A tubular 32 mm (1.26 in.) diameter on armored vehicles.

The stabilizer bar is attached to the front of the subframe with bushes and mounting brackets. The pressed steel mounting brackets locate over the bushes and are attached to the cross member with bolts screwed into threaded locations in the subframe. The stabilizer bar has collars crimped into the bar at the inside edges of the bushes.
The collars prevent sideways movement of the stabilizer bar. Each end of the stabilizer bar curves rearward to attach to a ball joint on each stabilizer link. Each stabilizer link is secured to a bush in the lower lateral arm with a bolt and locknut. The links allow the stabilizer bar to move with the wheel travel providing maximum effectiveness.

Spring and Damper Assembly

The spring and damper assemblies are located between the lower lateral arm and the front suspension housing.
Each spring and damper assembly incorporates:
An adaptive dynamics damper, which enables the damping characteristics of the suspension to be adjusted. Refer to Vehicle Dynamic Suspension information.
A conventional coil spring, individually tuned to provide the required characteristics for the different engine variants.

The spring rate of the coil spring differs between models and is color coded for identification.
