FRONT SUSPENSION
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 60-5
Coil springs
Coil springs are fitted to the front axle of the vehicle. The front springs differ between petrol and Diesel variants. Each
spring is retained at its base by the lower spring seat. The top of each spring is located in the upper spring seat
isolator. The upper spring seat is manufactured from natural rubber , with a bonded metal plate and four bonded studs
which provide for the attachment of the damper turret. The rubber isolator reduces noise transmitted to the chassis
and body from the suspension.
The coil springs must be installed correctly. The bottom coil of the spring locates in a recess in the lower spring seat.
The top coil of the spring is ground flat to locate the upper spring seat isolator.
Coil Spring Specifications – Models up to 03 Model Year
The front springs on petrol variants are manufactured from carbon chrome 13.9 mm (0.55 in) diameter bar. The spring
has 7.6 coils and a free length of 377 mm (14.8 in). The petrol front spring is identified by a pink and orange stripe
painted on a number of coils.
The front springs on Diesel variants are manufactured from carbon chrome 13.9 mm (0.55 in) diameter bar. The spring
has 7.6 coils and a free length of 383 mm (15.0 in). The Diesel front spring is identified by a white and purple stripe
painted on a number of coils.
Coil Spring Specifications – Models from 03 Model Year
The introduction of the 03MY vehicle introduced a range of additional spring fitments. These were introduced to cover
the introduction of the 4.6l V8 engine, the fitment of a front mounted winch and to optimise the vehicle trim heights.
The coil springs are manufactured from silicon manganese 13.8 mm or 13.9 mm (0.54 in or 0.55 in) diameter bar. The
following spring data table shows the colour codes, number of coils and spring free length.

The system is electrically and hydraulically operated with all operations controlled by an ACE ECU located behind the
glovebox in the passenger side footwell. The ACE system comprises front and rear torsion bars and actuators, two
accelerometers, ECU, hydraulic pump, valve block and a fluid reservoir.
The ACE system gives improved vehicle handling and suspension characteristics and is active for both on and off-
road driving. This is achieved by hydraulic actuators applying torque to the front and rear torsion bars in response to
lateral forces sensed by accelerometers. The ACE system prevents body roll with cornering forces of up to 0.4 g. From
0.4 g there is a progressive increase in body roll but significantly lower than a passive system. A passive system will
have a progressive increase in roll angle as soon as cornering forces are applied and will have a higher roll angle than
the ACE system for the same cornering force.
The ACE system can also detect if the vehicle is driven off-road. If off-road conditions are detected the ACE system
operation will be reduced or completely disabled at a speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) or less.
Lateral acceleration of the body is sensed by two accelerometers and signals are transmitted to the ECU. The engine
driven hydraulic pump supplies a constant hydraulic flow to the valve block. Two directional control valves are
solenoid operated by the ECU and these supply fluid to the applicable side of each actuator to apply an equal and
opposite force to the torsion bar. In operation the ACE system maintains the attitude of the vehicle body when
cornering.
