Front suspension (figure 7.1) independent, MacPherson type lever-spring, with telescopic shock absorber struts, coil springs, lower wishbones and anti-roll bar.
The main element of the front suspension is a telescopic shock absorber strut, which combines the functions of a telescopic element of the guide mechanism and a damping element of vertical oscillations of the wheel relative to the body. A coil spring, compression buffer, protective casing of the strut and upper support are assembled on the shock absorber strut. The load is transferred to the car body through the thrust bearing and upper support.
The shock absorber strut is connected to the lower suspension arm by a ball joint. The lower arms are attached to the car body by silent blocks.
The torsion-type anti-roll bar with rubber cushions installed on it is connected to the vehicle's subframe with two brackets, and to the lower suspension arm with bolts.
