1997-2000 SUSPENSION

Front - Miata 

DESCRIPTION 

Front suspension is an independent, double wishbone design using upper and lower control arms. A spring over 
shock is mounted between lower control arm and upper fender panel. Upper and lower control arms pivot at 
crossmember and are connected by ball joints to steering knuckle. A stabilizer bar attaches to each lower control 
arm and frame. See Fig. 1 . Upper coil over shock mount plate has been redesigned for 1999-2000. New design 
incorporates a urethane bumper and improves ride and cornering.
