Description
The front suspension system incorporates a strut assembly that takes the place of the upper control arm and upper
ball joint. The strut carries out the function of a shock absorber and is encompassed by a coil spring. The strut
assembly supports the weight of the vehicle and is also the pivot point for the steering knuckle. This system uses a
lower control arm and ball joint for the lower pivot point of the steering knuckle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNING!
Do not remove the strut rod nut while the strut assembly is installed in the vehicle, or before the coil spring is
compressed with a spring compressor. The spring is held under high pressure and must be compressed before
the strut rod nut can be removed.
CAUTION:
At no time when servicing a vehicle can a sheet metal screw, bolt, or other metal fastener be
installed in the shock tower to replace the original plastic clamp. It may come in contact with the
strut or coil spring.
CAUTION:
The wheel bearing will be damaged if the vehicle is rolled with the axle shaft hub nut loose.
Operation
The front suspension utilizes a MacPherson strut system. This suspension system incorporates a strut assembly that
takes the place of the upper arm and ball joint. The strut performs the function of a shock absorber and is encom-
passed by a coil spring.

Front Steering Knuckle
Description
The steering knuckle is a single casting with legs machined for attachment to the front strut assembly on the top and
steering linkage on the trailing leading end. The steering knuckle also has two machined, drilled legs on the end
casting to support and align the front disc brake caliper adapter.
Operation
The steering knuckle supports the hub and bearing. The front suspension steering knuckle is not a repairable com-
ponent of the front suspension. It must be replaced if damaged in any way. If it is determined that the steering
knuckle is bent when servicing the vehicle, no attempt should be made to straighten the steering knuckle.

knuckle.
(Tighten: Strut to the knuckle nuts to 135 N·m)
NOTE :
Do not allow the half shaft to hang by the inner C/V joint. It must be supported to keep the joint from separating
during this operation.
12. Pull the knuckle off the half shaft outer C/V joint splines and remove the knuckle from the vehicle.
13. If required, remove the screws fastening the shield to the knuckle.
14. If required, use a suitable tool to press the hub and bearing out of the knuckle.
15. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Installation Notes:
• After installing the front steering knuckle, perform a front end alignment (See Front Wheel Alignment in Section
10 Suspension).
Front Lower Control Arm
Description
The lower control arm is located between the steering knuckle and the vehicle sub-frame. The lower control arm uses
a lower ball joint on the outer end and two sub-frame mounts on the inner end.
Operation
The front lower control arm supports the steering knuckle. The lower control arm controls the vehicle steering by
maintaining the proper wheel alignment through all driving conditions.
Removal & Installation
NOTE :
Inspect the lower control arm for signs of damage from contact with the ground or road debris. If the lower control
arm shows any sign of damage, look for distortion. Do not attempt to repair or straighten a broken or bent lower
control arm. If damaged, the lower control arm is serviced only as a complete component.
