Concorde V6-2.7L VIN V (2001)
Radius Arm: Description and Operation
TENSION STRUT
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle uses a steel tension strut on each side of the vehicle's front suspension, between the lower control arm and front suspension
cradle/crossmember. The strut has rubber isolator bushings, retainer washers and nuts at each end where it mounts.
OPERATION
The tension strut controls longitudinal (fore-and-aft) movement of each front wheel and the front suspension. Controlling the longitudinal movement
helps reduce harshness when the wheel hits sudden irregularities in the road surface.
The tension strut's rubber isolator bushings isolate suspension noise from the body of the vehicle.
