103Chapter 5 Front Suspension SystemSection 1 Front Suspension SystemDescription on front suspension structure
This model uses strut swing arm independent suspension with stabilizer bar.
The shock absorber upper end is flexibly connected to the body through the shock absorber mounting seat,
the lower end is rigidly connected to the steering knuckle. The coil spring encloses the shock absorber (coil
spring geometrical axial line does not coincide with that of the shock absorber piston rod), and is supported
between the upper and lower spring seats.
Both ends of the stabilizer bar are connected to the shock absorber through the strut bar ball pin and the
intermediate part is supported on the lower front body by the rubber bushing and support frame.
The front cushion sleeves the shock absorber piston rod head to restrict the wheel jump limit position and
plays the role of buffer.
The thrust ball bearing, installed between the spring upper seat and the shock absorber mount, is used for the
relative rotation upon steering of the shock absorber rigidly connected to the steering knuckle to the shock
absorber mount flexibly connected to the body.
"L" type lower swing arm is secured to the lower engine compartment with the press plate through elastic
rubber bushing and hinge, and its outer end is connected to the steering knuckle through the ball stud pin
which is attached to the lower swing arm by 3 high intension bolts. The ball stud pin can be removed and
replaced when it is worn.
The ball seat material is saturated polyester containing oil, featured in comparatively high intensity and
wearability and good self-lubrication performance. Proper amount of grease has been added during the
assembly and there is no need for additional filling during the normal operation.

Rear suspension consists of the parallel front and rear double transverse arms, trailing rod, rear stabilizer bar
and rear strut assembly. The shock absorber and cone coil spring are arranged eccentrically.
See the table below for the major technical parameters of the rear suspensionProblem Symptoms TableUse the table below to help you find the cause of the problem. The numbers indicate the priority of the likely
cause of the problem. Check each part in order. If necessary, replace these parts.Items Parameter Items Parameter

Standard inflation pressure: 220 Kpa
2. Inspect rear wheel toe-in
If the rear wheel toe-in is not within the specification, adjust it via rear
wheel toe-in adjusting cam.
3. Inspect the camber
Notice: If the camber is not within the specification, check the suspension parts for damage/low
performance. Replace it if necessary.Toe-in C - D: 1～

360(I) Front Sheet Metal, Cowl PartsThe main function of the front sheet metal and the cowl parts is forming an engine compartment to supply the
engine and accessories with a protective cover and to absorb the most energy when vehicle encounters
frontal impaction, protecting mud from being splashed by the front wheels, and meeting the requirements of
body design in appearance. It is mainly composed of front cross member assembly, LH/RH front mud guard
and front side member assembly, engine hood front support plate assembly, hood lock bracket assembly,
cowl assembly, cowl upper assembly.
1. Front Cross Member Assembly
The front cross member assembly is mainly composed of the front cross member welding sub-assembly,
front cross member bottom plate assembly, LH/RH side member end plate by welding them together, and its
dismantle diagram as shown in the Figure 5-2.
2. Lh/Rh Front Mudguard And Front Side Member Assembly
LH/RH front mud guard and front side member assembly is mainly composed of LH/RH front mudguards
and LH/RH side members by welding them together.
It is mainly used to mount some mounting brackets such as the engine LH/RH side suspension bracket, LH/
RH front suspension shock absorber bracket, etc. and to mount the LH/RH front fenders.
3. Engine Hood Front Support Plate Assembly
Engine hood front support plate is mainly composed of LH/RH headlamp mounting bracket assembly, hood
front support plate sub-assembly, and LH/RH front support plate reinforcement, by welding them together.
Engine hood front support plate assembly is used to mount radiator, engine hood lock, radiator grille, front
bumper, and headlamp.
4. Engine Hood Lock Bracket Assembly
Engine hood lock bracket assembly is used to mount the engine hood lock, also to strengthen the intensity and
rigidity of the front body by connecting the engine hood front support plate and front cross member.
5. Cowl Assembly
Cowl assembly is mainly composed of cowl inner and outer plate assembly and cowl lower cross member, by
welding them together.
Cowl assembly and front floor, LH/RH front mud guard (LH/RH front pillar), cowl upper baffle is welded
together, which forms a framework with great torsional strength. It generates great resistance to lateral
impact and rolled deformation.
Cowl inner and outer plate assembly is sandwich structure. 3mm of asphalt plate lies in the interlayer, which
is to cut off the noise and heat generated from the engine.
