VARIATION IN CAMBER DURING CORNERING
When the steering wheel is turned, camber varies
as shown below because of increased caster angle
and reduced kingpin angle. On the vehicle with
multi-
link suspension, the change in “camber to ground”
caused by the body rolling during cornering is small

by the same action as the one experienced in a
double-wishbone suspension. These effects help
provide outstanding directional stability by making
the most of the tire performance.

OPERATION <TURBO>
When the shock absorber piston speed is at less
than 0.1
m/set.,
the control of the damping force
is impossible with the conventional fixed opening
orifice alone. This control has been made possible
by adding a relief valve for very low and low speed
range operation. As a result, the damping force

characteristics have become linear as shown below,
so that the vehicle provides better feeling when
it rolls and shows better responsiveness to the steer-
ing wheel operation.
