Roll Stabilizer (5) connected via two connecting rods (6) with both shock absorbers. The stabilizer is mounted on the auxiliary frame (4) with rubber mounts. Thanks to the stabilizer, body tilt is reduced when cornering.
Torque from the engine is transmitted to the front wheels through two drive shafts. Both drive shafts are of the same length and have two CV joints (SHRUS). Between the right drive shaft and the gearbox flange is an intermediate shaft, which rests on the front axle subframe.
The front wheel bearings are non-separable and must be replaced after each removal.
Special for Ford KA
The transverse arms are bolted to the body through rubber mounts and additional holders. There is no auxiliary frame of the front axle. Both drive shafts are one-piece, and the right shaft is much longer than the left. To compensate for vibrations of the right, longer shaft, a balancing weight is installed on it.
Precautions: welding and straightening work on the bearing and guiding parts of the front suspension is not allowed. Self-locking nuts as well as corroded bolts/nuts are always replaced in case of repair.
