the aluminum wheel knuckle via an integral ball-joint.

Lower Control Arm

The aluminum lower arm locates to the subframe via one cross-axis joint and one plain rubber bush, and to the wheel knuckle
via a second plain rubber bush.
The rear of the control arm has mounting points for the damper and the stabilizer link.

Toe-Link

The toe-link is located between the wheel knuckle and brackets on the subframe.

The toe-link comprises an inner rod with integral axial ball joint. The inner ball joint has a threaded spigot which locates in a
bracket on the subframe and is secured with a locknut. The rod has an internal thread which accepts the outer rod.

The outer rod has a cross-axis joint at its outer end which is located in a clevis on the wheel knuckle, and is secured with a
bolt and locknut.

The length of the toe-link can be adjusted by rotating the inner rod. This allows for adjustment of the toe angle for the rear
wheel. Once set the inner rod can be locked in position by tightening a locknut on the outer rod against the inner rod.

Wheel Knuckle

The cast aluminum wheel knuckle attaches to:
the upper control arm via a ball-joint located in the arm,
the lower control arm via a plain rubber bush located in the arm,
the toe-link via a cross-axis joint located in the toe link.
The wheel knuckle also provides the mounting locations for the:
wheel hub assembly,
wheel bearing,
wheel speed sensor,
brake caliper,
and disc shield.

Stabilizer Bar

The solid construction stabilizer bar and bushes have been designed to provide particular characteristics in maintaining roll
rates, specifically in primary ride comfort. There are six derivatives of rear stabilizer bar, with different diameters, to support
the various powertrains:
V6 gasoline - 12.7 mm solid bar
V8 4.2L and 5.0L gasoline - 13.6 mm solid bar
V6 2.7L diesel -14.5 mm solid bar
V6 3.0L diesel - 14.5 mm solid bar
V6 3.0L diesel with Adaptive Damping – 16mm tubular
V8 4.2L gasoline supercharged – 16mm tubular
V8 5.0L gasoline supercharged
- SV8 - 17mm tubular
- XFR - 18mm tubular

The stabilizer bar is attached to the top of the subframe with two bushes and mounting brackets. The stabilizer bar has
crimped, 'anti-shuffle' collars pressed in position on the inside edges of the bushes. The collars prevent sideways movement of
the stabilizer bar.

Each end of the stabilizer bar curves rearward to attach to a ball joint on each stabilizer link. Each link is attached via a
second ball joint to a cast bracket on the lower control arm. The links allow the stabilizer bar to move with the wheel travel
providing maximum effectiveness.

Spring and Damper Assembly

The spring and damper assembly are attached to cast brackets on the lower control arms and to the vehicle body by four studs
secured by locking nuts. Dependant on vehicle model there are three types of coil spring and damper available:
a standard oil passive damper (All models except supercharged),
an adaptive damper, also known as Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS) on 4.2L supercharged vehicles up to
2010MY, For additional information refer to Vehicle Dynamic Suspension 4.2L.
a continuously variable adaptive damper, also known as Adaptive Dynamics System on 5.0L supercharged vehicles from
2010MY. For additional information refer to Vehicle Dynamic Suspension 5.0L.

The dampers are a monotube design with a spring located by a circlip onto the damper tube. The lower end of the damper has
a spherical joint which locates in the lower control arm and is secured with a bolt.

The damper piston is connected to a damper rod which is sealed at its exit point from the damper body. The threaded outer
end of the damper rod locates through a hole in the top mount. A self locking nut secures the top mount to the damper rod.
The damper rod on the adaptive damper has an electrical connector on the outer end of the damper rod. www.JagDocs.com

each damper to the appropriate level to maintain a flat and level body.
Roll Rate Control – Uses CAN inputs. Predicts vehicle roll rate due to driver steering inputs 100 times a second and increases damping to reduce roll rate.
Pitch Rate Control – Uses CAN inputs. Predicts vehicle pitch rate due to driver throttle and braking inputs 100 times a second and increases damping to reduce pitch rate.
Bump Rebound Control – Uses suspension height sensor and CAN inputs. Monitors the position of the wheel 500 times a second and increases the damping rate as the damper approaches the end of its travel.
Wheel Hop Control – Uses suspension height sensor and CAN inputs. Monitors the position of the wheel 500 times a second and detects when the wheel is at its natural frequency and increases the dampingto reduce vertical wheel
motion.

Under normal road conditions when the vehicle is stationary with the engine running, the dampers are set to the firm condition
to reduce power consumption.

The adaptive damping module receives its power supply via a relay and fuse in the CJB. The relay remains energized for a period of time after the ignition is off. This allows the adaptive damping module to record and store any DTC (diagnostic
trouble code) relating to adaptive dynamics system faults.



DAMPERS Component Description



Item Description A Front spring and damper assembly B Rear spring and damper assembly The 'Adaptive Dynamics' dampers are monotube, nitrogen gas and oil filled units, manufactured by Bilstein. The dampers are
continuously variable, which allows the damping force to be electrically adjusted when the vehicle is being driven. The variable
dampers provide the optimum compromise between vehicle control and ride comfort.

The dampers have an electrical connector on the end of the piston rod, in the center of the top mount (the dampers look
identical to those on the Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS) system of 4.2L supercharged vehicles, but have a
different part number).

In each damper, the continuous damping adjustment is achieved by a solenoid operated variable orifice, which opens up an
alternative path for oil flow within the damper. When de-energized the bypass is closed and all the oil flows through the main
(firm) piston. When energized, the solenoid moves an armature and control blade, which work against a spring. The control
blade incorporates an orifice which slides inside a sintered housing to open up the bypass as required. In compression, oil
flows from the lower portion of the damper through a hollow piston rod, a separate soft (comfort) valve, the slider housing and
orifice and into the upper portion of the damper, thereby bypassing the main (firm) valve. In rebound the oil flows in the www.JagDocs.com
