Front suspension – introduction
The superimposed track control arms, which form two of the sides of the suspension's ideal qadrilateral, are in effect triangles hinged by the apex with the hub's vertical link and by the base with the suspension frame at the bottom, and the raised
shell at the top. The quadrilateral configuration permits greater control of the wheel movements and greater adjustment possibility.
For geometry and characteristic angles 4450A ( Characteristic of working principle 4450A Wheel geometry).
The geometry of the suspension uses the shock absorber/spring assembly purely as a damping and flexible element, which does not form part of the kinematic structure.
