An independent front suspension is standard on P model vehicles. In order to reduce vibration and shock load, this suspension features unequal length control arms (lower control arm carries the load), coil springs, and shock absorbers.

A stabilizer shaft controls sway or roll.

Some vehicles have air cylinders inside the coil springs. These cylinders minimize harsh impact on large road bumps.

A special heavy-duty front suspension is also available on P model vehicles. This suspension centers around a solid I-beam axle and includes leaf springs, shock absorbers, and a stabilizer shaft.
