Axle

The improvement of the torsion profile and the increased strength of the brackets has made it possible to produce better structural rigidity also reducing the overall weight.

The particular shape of the torsion profile has made it possible to achieve excellent roll stabilizing stiffness even without the addition of an anti-roll bar.

Special shock absorber

Special, dual acting, telescopic, hydraulic shock absorbers fitted as standard on all versions.

    See descriptions 4410 FRONT SUSPENSION

The vertical arrangement of the shock absorbers, mounted on the body at the wheel arch, is sound-proofed to filter out road imperfections improving acoustic comfort in the passenger compartment.

Care should be taken not to mix up the left and right rear dome mountings. With this in min, the right side mounting only has an opening (a) in the position illustrated.

Springs

Rigid and lowered rear springs to guarantee a sports geometry both in aesthetic and practical terms.

The fitting of the rear springs (1) involves the objectification of the angular position of the spring, obtained through matching flat surfaces of the lower support seal (2) and the retaining duct (3) on the axle.
