The lower assembly comprises: two independent arms, with each arm, consisting of a bush and ball joint.
Both arms are made from forged and machined steel. An aperture in the rear arm provides for the attachment of the Shock absorber yoke bush.
Each lower arm is fitted with a bush which is secured with a bolt to the subframe, with bolts and self-locking nuts through metal inserts in the center of the bushes. The outer-end of the arms are fitted with a tapered ball joint which attach to the wheel knuckle.
The ball joint is pressed into the upper arm and is secured with an interference fit. The top face of the ball joint has two semi-circular cut-outs. One of these cut-outs must be aligned with the small indentation in the upper arm to ensure the correct operation of the ball joint.
