Front sub frame with HPS type steering gear box assembly

The front sub frame consists of 4 body bush mountings and 2 transmission 
bush mountings which reduce the vibration from the powertrain and road, 
and also control the torque. And the frame is equipped with hydraulic 
pressure pipe of the HPS type steering gear box.

4. SUB FRAME AND STEERING GEAR BOX LAYOUT

Front sub frame with EPS type steering gear box assembly

This kind of front sub frame system has the same mounting structure with 
the frame with HPS. But the EPS type steering gear box has no hydraulic 
pressure pipe since it is driven by the electric motor.

Rear sub frame assembly for 4WD

The rear sub frame for 4WD vehicle consists of 4 body (bush) 
mountings and 2 axle (direct) mountings which reduce the vibration from 
the powertrain and road, and also control the torque.

Rear sub frame assembly for 2WD

The rear sub frame for 2WD vehicle functions in the same way as the 
one for 4WD vehicle, but the structure is different from the one for 4WD. 
It consists of 4 body (bush) mountings.

Stabilizer bar assembly

The stabilizer bar assembly is not activated if the left/right 
wheels move up/down simultaneously, but if both wheels 
move up/down differently it is activated with frame to 
minimize the tilting of the body.

5. FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENT LAYOUT

Front suspension supports the vehicle weight and absorber the vibration from tires. And, in this type of 
suspension, the steering linkage tie rod is mounted on the knuckle. The Macpherson Strut suspension 
is an independent suspension which has a spring on the strut with a built-in shock absorber. The lower 
arm is installed on sub frame and large strut damper is installed on the knuckle to support the tire.

Lower arm assembly

The lower arm assembly connects the frame and 
knuckle. It supports the load transferred to the tire 
knuckle, relieves the impact from the vehicle and ground 
conditions, and ensures driving stability.

Front coil spring assembly

The coil spring is made by winding solid steel rod to form 
the coil shape. Its energy absorption rate per weight is 
higher than that of the leaf spring and it allows to absorb 
small vibration properly resulted in keeping the ride 
comforts. Therefore, it's difficult to make an effect on 
vibration damping because there is not any friction 
between coils.
