For 1990-2009 cars

The front suspension is independent and uses struts, as opposed to separate shock absorbers and coil springs.

The upper end of the front struts are anchored to the vehicle body by strut supports. Rubber mounts isolate the strut and strut supports. The lower end of each strut (1) connects to the upper end of the steering knuckle (2). The lower end of each knuckle attaches to the ball joint (5). The ball joint attaches to the suspension control arm (6).
