Front suspension – independent, on forked transverse steel levers, with helical cylindrical springs, double-acting telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers and anti-roll bar
The principle of operation of the shock absorber is based on the creation of increased resistance to body rocking due to the forced flow of fluid through small flow sections in the valves (this applies to oil shock absorbers, while in gas shock absorbers the principle of operation is based on the pressure of gas pumped under a certain pressure)
