New pendulum engine mounting system reduces 
noise and vibration, which has the following features.

• The power train mass is supported in line with the 

axis of inertia and torque reaction is controlled by 
roll-rod stopper with longitudinal force in stead of 
vertical force, sensitive to noise and vibration.

• Roll-rod stopper has two rubber-to-metal bush-

ings including large voided bushing and reduces 
vibration and noise doubly.

• Enlarged right-hand engine mount, incorporating 

a hydraulic chamber, reduces transmission of 
noise and vibration in common use and 
enhances ride quality on rough roads.

The well-proven MacPherson strut type suspension 
has been adopted. Various components such as the 
strut assembly and the coil spring have been modi-
fied or fine-tuned in order to enhance driving comfort, 
compared with the previous model.

MAIN FEATURES

• The thicker upper spring pad and lower spring 

pad reduce high-frequency vibration and road 
noise.

• The newly adopted polyurethane bump stopper 

absorbs high load without transmitting sharp 
vibrations to the bodyshell.

• The newly added cup does not rotate together 

with the strut. As this stationary cup holds the 
bump stopper, Therefore, the friction on the top 
surface of the bump stopper can be suppressed, 
thus eliminating sources of noise. 

• The extended dust cover bellows suppresses 

dust intrusion through absorber oil seal.

• The newly designed barrel-shaped springs 

reduce weight.
