GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
FRONT SUSPENSION
The front suspension for this vehicle is a combination of
a strut assembly and a knuckle assembly. The strut as-
sembly combines a strut dampener and spring mounted
to the body of the vehicle. The upper end of the strut is iso-
lated by a rubber mount and contains a bearing to allow the
strut to turn. The knuckle is attached to the strut assembly
and pivots on a ball joint bolted to the control arm. The con-
trol arms pivot from the body using rubber bushings.
The ball joint is fastened to the steering knuckle with a
pinch bolt and nut, and to the lower control arm with rivets.
The stabilizer bar interconnects both strut assemblies ofthe vehicle through the stabilizer link and is attached to the
front suspension crossmember. Jounce and rebound
movements affecting one wheel are partially transmitted
to the opposite wheel of the vehicle to stabilize body roll.
When servicing the control arm–to–body attachment and
the stabilizer shaft–to–body insulators, make sure the at-
taching bolts are loose until the control arms are moved to
the trim height, which is curb height. Trim height is the nor-
mal position to which the control arms move when the ve-
hicle is sitting on the ground. Refer to ”General Specifica-
tions” in this section.
The springs in the front suspension of engine family II are
stronger and the strut dampeners heavier than are the
springs and strut dampeners found in the front suspension
of engine family I.

strut mounting nuts. For station wagons, remove
the panels that cover the luggage compartment
wheelhouse trim panel (wagon). Refer to Section
9G, Interior Trim.
2. Remove the rear strut mounting nuts.
3. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
4. Remove the wheel. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and
Wheels.
5. Disconnect the parking brake. Refer to Section 4G,
Parking Brake.
Important : On vehicles equipped with rear drum brakes,
the brake hose will easily disconnect from the strut assem-
bly as the assembly is being removed from the vehicle. On
vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes, the brake hose
can be disconnected from the strut assembly at any time.
6. Remove the clip that holds the brake hose to the
strut assembly.
