The supporting element of such a front suspension is a crossbar, which is attached to the frame with four bolts. Torsion bars are used as elastic elements. Each wheel has one torsion bar, which is internally fixed against movement and rotation. The steering knuckles are mounted on the support arms. The brake drum and wheel hub are made as a single unit. The wheel is mounted on two ball bearings. The vehicle's vibrations are dampened by two telescopic shock absorbers.

The front suspension beam has 4 ball grease fittings that need to be lubricated every 30,000 km or once a year.
