Front Suspension: Description

All models use an independent front suspension, consisting of coil springs (Hombre 2WD), torsion bars (Amigo, Hombre 4WD, Rodeo and Trooper), upper and lower control arms, steering knuckle and stabilizer bar. Steering knuckle connects to control arms at ball joints. A stabilizer bar and strut bar may be used between frame and lower control arm. See Fig 1 and Fig 2.
