Suspension brackets are connecting links between a body and wheels. Through them the forces influencing wheels are transferred to a body. The elements entering into suspension brackets, soften dynamic loadings, reduce body fluctuations, provide good stability and smoothness of a course of the car.

Fig. 10.1. Forward suspension bracket: 1–amortizatorny rack; 2–lever of a rotary fist; 3–stabilizer of cross-section stability; 4–support of the stabilizer of cross-section stability; 5–rubber plug; 6–connector of the stabilizer of cross-section stability; 7–connector support; 8–back saylentblok; 9–lock plate; 10-spherical support of a forward suspension bracket; 11-deflector; 12-cross-section lever of a forward suspension bracket; 13-forward saylentblok; 14-cross-section beam; 15-damper; 16-rotary fist

As bearing element of a forward suspension bracket the forward cross-section beam 14 (fig. 10.1) serves . The power unit fastens to a beam through the corresponding support.

The independent forward suspension bracket includes cylindrical springs and compound telescopic shock-absorbers. The lower part of forward racks fastens to rotary fists 16 which in turn fasten by means of spherical support 10 to the bottom cross-section lever 12. On some models there is a stabilizer of the 3rd cross-section stability which fastens to the bottom levers of a suspension bracket by means of rubber plugs 5. The top part of a rotary fist incorporates to the lower part of an amortization rack two bolts that allows to regulate disorder of forward wheels. (Or both) it is possible to replace one of these bolts a special bolt to adjust disorder of wheels if the size of disorder exceeds admissible values.

PREVENTION On elements of a forward suspension bracket bearing and operating wheels welding and leveling works are not admissible.
