The front suspension is a strut type independent suspension. The upper end of a strut is anchored to the body by a strut support. The strut and the strut support are isolated by a rubber mount. The lower end of the strut is bolted to the upper end of a steering knuckle. The lower end of the knuckle is anchored to the front lower control arm by a ball joint.

The coil spring is separate from the strut. The upper end of the coil spring is anchored to the body by a spring seat. The lower end of the coil spring is on the front lower control arm.

The front stabilizer shaft is anchored to the 2 front lower control arms by 2 links. The shaft is anchored to the frame by 2 brackets. The shaft is isolated by 2 rubber insulators.

The front suspension support brace is anchored to the 2 strut housings. The brace increases body's structural rigidity.
