The front suspension is a combination of the strut and the spring design. The control arms pivot from the crossmember. Conventional rubber bushings are used for the lower control arm pivots. The upper end of the strut is isolated by a rubber mount. This contains a bearing in order to allow the wheel to turn.

The lower end of the steering knuckle pivots on a ball joint riveted to the control arm. The ball joint is fastened to the steering knuckle with a castellated nut and cotter pin. For suspension assembly components refer to
