Across
- 5. – spherical pivot joint – allows steering & suspension movement
- 8. – upright/hub carrier – connects control arms, tie rod, brake
- 10. – compression limiter – prevents suspension bottom-out
- 11. – steering link – adjusts toe angle
- 12. – layered steel strips – common on vans & pickups
Down
- 1. – pivoting suspension link – maintains wheel geometry
- 2. – upper strut mount – includes bearing for steering rotation
- 3. – hydraulic shock absorber – controls spring oscillation
- 4. – torsion bar linking left/right suspension – reduces body roll
- 6. – A-shaped control arm – provides strong lateral support
- 7. – structural mounting cradle – supports suspension & drivetrain
- 9. – helical-shaped steel spring – can be linear or progressive
