Ensure that during towing, the towing attachment does not cont act the bumper.

The rear towing/las hing eye should only be used for towing another vehicle or for recovery purposes to enable this
vehicle to be positioned in order that the front towing eye may be used for recovery/towing.

4 Wheel Towing

• CAUTIONS:

Suspended towing of t his vehicle MUST NOT be attempted, if four wheel towing is not poss ible, vehicle must be
recovered on a suitable trailer.

The vehicle may be towed for a maximum of 1 hour or 31 miles (50 km) at a maximum speed of 31 mph (50 km/h),
these limits MUST NOT be exceeded.

The front suspension on vehicles from 2007 model year features a common tubular stabili zer bar across all engine variants.

The suspension arms have been designed for maximum ground clearance. Suspension geometry can be adjusted via the
strut top mount for camber and on the steering rack track rod ends for toe-in.

The following wheel travels are shown for on road and off-road vehicle operation. The difference between the two
operati ng conditions is a result of operati on of the air suspension front cross-link valve. When the cross-link valve i s
opened, the suspension travel i s as given for off-road wheel travel. When the cross -link valve is closed the suspension
travel given for on road applies.

The off road mode wheel travel is:

175 mm bump
95 mm rebound
This gives a total of 270 mm off road suspension travel.

The on road standard wheel travel is:

115 mm bump
155 mm rebound
This gives a total of 270 mm on road suspension travel.

• NOTE: Overall wheel travel s tated above will st ill be achieved when both wheels are moving in parallel together.

The front suspension comprises:

Two air spring damping struts
Subframe
Stabilizer bar
Stabilizer bar links
Suspension arms
Two hub assemblies .

Struts

The front suspension struts are a MacPherson twin tube desi gn with the conventional coil spring replaced by an air spring.
The lower end of the strut is connected to t he front hub assembly with t wo bolts. The upper top mount is attached to the
inner fender with three studs and nuts.

The t op mount has a bearing i nstalled which reduces the force required on the s teering when the strut rotates. A paper
gasket is fitted on the underside of the inner fender, between the inner fender and the top mount. The gasket prevents
the ingress of dirt and moisture into the bearing. When the strut is removed, thi s gasket must be replaced with a new
item to maintain the performance of t he bearing and care must be taken to ensure that the gasket is correctly positioned.

The damper functions by restricting the flow of hydraulic fluid through internal galleries within the damper. A damper rod
moves axially within the damper. As t he rod moves, its movement is limit ed by the fl ow of fluid through the galleries thus
providing damping of undulations in the terrain. The damper rod is sealed at its exit point from the damper body to
maintain fluid wit hin the unit and to prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture. The seal also acts as a wiper to keep the rod
outer diameter clean.

• NOTE: The dampers fitted to TDV8 vehicles differ to the dampers fitt ed to petrol vehicles to compensate for the extra
weight and handling characteristics of the vehicle.

The air spring is fitted on the upper part of t he strut. W ithin the strut module the air spring elements comprise a top plat e
assembly, an air bag and a base piston. The air bag is attached to t he top plate and the piston with a crimped ring. The
air bag is made from a flexible rubber material which allows the bag to expand with air pressure and deform under load.
On the side of the top cap is a connector which allows for the attachment of the air hose from the cross-link valve. The
piston is made from plastic and is shaped to allow the air bag to roll over its oute r diameter.

TDV8 and supercharged vehicl es also feat ure mass attached to the top mount . The mass has no function with the vehicle
suspension but is fitted to improve NVH produced by the braking syst em.

Subframe

The subframe is fabricated from steel tubing to provide a robust platform for the mounting of the sus pensi on and engine.
The subframe is attached t o the vehicle body via six mountings.

The subframe fabrication provides accurate location for the suspension components and the steering rack. Additional
brackets allow for the attachment of the height sensors and the engine mountings. The stabilizer bar is attached across
the rear of the s ubframe and is mounted in flexible bushes which are secured with 'D' shaped clamp pl ates.

Stabilizer Bar and Links

The stabilizer bar is fabricated from 31 mm diameter, spring steel tube with a 5.5 mm wall thickness. The st abilizer bar
operates, via a pair of links, from a bracket mounted on each strut.

The stabilizer bar is attached to the rear of the subframe with two bushes which are bonded to the bar and cannot be
removed. Clamp plates are pressed onto the bushes and must not be removed. The stabilizer bar is secured to the
subframe with the clamp plates which are located on studs on t he subframe and s ecured with nuts.

Each end of the stabilizer bar is attached to a bracket on each strut via a stabil izer link. This arrangement allows the
stabilizer bar to act on a 1:1 ratio with the wheel travel providing maximum stabilizer bar effectiveness. A hardened
washer is fi tted between the ball joint and the strut mounting pl ate. The hardened washer prevents the ball joint
damaging the bracket, which could lead to loosening of the torque on the nut. It is important that t his washer is in the

correct position and t he correct, hardened washer is fitted. Failure to fit the wash

er or using an incorrect washer will result

in relaxation of the torque on the self-locking nut and damage will be caused to the stabilizer bar link and the strut .

Each st abilizer link has a bal l joint fitting at each end mounted at 90° to the axis of the link. The ball joints improve the
response and efficiency of the stabilizer bar. The t op ball joint attaches directly to a bracket on t he strut and the lower
ball joint attaches to a hole in t he stabilizer bar. Both ball joints are secured with self-locking nuts.

Each link must be att ached t o the stabilizer bar with the ball joint on the outside of the bar and the locknut facing
inwards. The ball joints on the stabilizer links are not s erviceable and if replacement of either is necessary, a new
stabilizer li nk will be required.

Suspension Links

The front suspension hub assembly is secured to t he subframe via two suspension links:

Lower Arm

Each lower arm is fitted wit h a bush which is secured with a bolt between t wo brackets on the subframe. The opposite end
of the lower arm is fitted wit h a tapered ball joint which attaches to the hub assembly. The arm has a bracket on its upper
face which provides for attachment of the air suspension height sensor.

Tie Rod

The t ie rod is located rearward of the lower arm. The ti e rod is fitted with a compliance bush which is secured with a bolt
between two brackets on the subframe. The opposite end of the tie rod has a tapered hole whi ch locates on a ball joint
which is bolted to the hub assembly.

Hub Assembly

The hub assembly comprises a swivel hub, drive fl ange and bearing. A seal and bearing are fit ted in the swivel hub and are
secured with a circlip. The drive flange has the wheel studs attached to it and locates on the spl ined dri ve shaft and is
secured with a stake nut.

The forged swivel hub has a vertical boss with t wo cross holes. This provides locat ion for the strut assembly which is
secured with bolts and nuts to the swivel hub. Two additional boss es provide location for the brake calliper.

The lower part of the swivel hub has two threaded holes which allow for the attachment of the bal l joint which locates the
outer end of the tie rod. A further tapered hole allows for the attachment of the lower arm ball joint.

A hole is machined at 90° to the hub bearing. This hole allows for the fitment of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) wheel
speed sensor which is secured with a screw into an adjacent threaded hole. The speed sensor reads off a target which is
part of the drive shaft assembly.

Disassembly and Assembly

Disassembly

• W ARNINGS:

Ensure the spri ng compressor Safe Working Load (SWL) meets or exceeds the spring rating quoted in the
Specifcations secti on.
For additional information, refer to: Specifications (204-00, Specificat ions).

Always follow the spring compressor manufacturer's instructions.

1. WARNING: Do not work on or under a vehicle supported
only by a jack. Always support the vehicle on safety stands.
