Front Suspension & Wheel Alignment: Front: Description
Front Suspension
The vehicle is equipped with two types of suspension:
- Control Arms in the front part
- MacPherson in the rear part
The steering knuckle is guided by triangular control arms both in the lower and in the upper part. The two triangles have a different size to allow the steering knuckle, and the wheel, to move. The shock absorber is connected, in the lower part of the lower wishbone, by means of a dedicated fixing support; in the upper part it is connected to the body with a dedicated support.
This type of suspension solution allows the wheel toe-in angle to be varied, by adjusting the steering box heads.
The suspension is connected to the carbon fibre body with supports.
Using a control arm suspension allows an excellent control of kinematics to be obtained, in particular for the recovery of shaking or vibrations.
This increases the seal.
