The links attach to the vehicle with bolts and bushings at their inner pivot points and to the steering knuckle, which
is part of the front wheel spindle, at their outer points.
The knuckle is mounted to the upper and lower links each of which has a ball joint to permit pivoting of the knuckle
for steering operations. The hub is supported in position on the knuckle spindle by means of the two bearings and
the rotor is mounted to the hub.
The front suspension is an independent type utilizing torsion bar springs (4
4, 4
2 (High ride suspension)) and coil
springs (4
2 (Except High ride suspension)). The torsion bar spring has splines on each end. Height control is
provided on the third crossmember. Both the upper and lower links are pressed steel and the torsion bar is
supported at the ends by lower link in front and by height control arm in rear.
