Front Suspension (G1895519): Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The front suspension is a fully independent multi-link design, with the suspension components attached to the subframe and vehicle body. The length ratio between the upper and lower wishbone control arms is calculated to minimize track and camber changes.

The non-isolated subframe is attached to the vehicle body with six bolts which pass through bushes located in the subframe. This rigid mounting arrangement provides the driver with optimum steering feel and facilitates towards the vehicle's suspension configurations.

The wheel knuckle attaches to the wishbone type upper and lower control arms.

The stabilizer bar attaches to the front of the subframe and varies in shape depending on the engine variant.

The spring and shock absorber assemblies are located between the lower control arm and the front suspension housing in the inner wing. Dependant on vehicle model there are two types of coil spring and shock absorber available:

Standard oil passive shock absorber
Continuously variable adaptive shock absorber.

A continuously variable adaptive damping system is available on specified models. For additional information, Refer to: VEHICLE DYNAMIC SUSPENSION
