FRONT SUSPENSION
1
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION INTRODUCTION
Suspension design is a major factor in determining the comfort, safety and performance of any vehicle, but is
particularly significant to 4 wheel drive cross country vehicles. The ideal suspension must allow maximum wheel
travel and axle articulation, and provide good ground clearance without loss of traction or directional stability.
A well designed beam axle layout can embrace all of these qualities and also has the inherent advantage (over
independent systems) of no variation in wheel track or camber angle.
