Front suspension
The front suspension is dependent, the suspension consists of a rigid axle beam and elastic elements - springs and shock absorbers (on cars FJ60, 62), or springs and shock absorbers with levers and transverse rod (on FJ80 vehicles). To reduce body tilt when turning, a stabilizer bar is provided. The steering knuckle supports are angular contact bearings pressed into holes in the fork welded to the end of the front axle beam.
Rear suspension
The elastic elements of the rear suspension are springs and shock absorbers (on cars FJ60, 62), or springs and shock absorbers with levers and transverse rod (on FJ80 vehicles). To reduce body lean when cornering, the rear suspension also features an anti-roll bar.
Steering
Cars are equipped with power steering. The structure of the steering mechanism includes a worm-and-ball reducer, bipod and thrust (there is no pendulum lever in this design). A vibration damper is mounted between the middle link and the axle, which reduces unwanted "steering wheel chatter", i.e. a slight rebound of the steering wheel from the position corresponding to the rotation of the wheels. The steering column breaks in an accident.
Steering and suspension bolts and nuts are usually very difficult to loosen. For this purpose, corroded joints are recommended to be cleaned with a brush and moistened with a penetrating liquid. Sometimes a threaded connection can be unscrewed by sharp blows of the core on the nut. When unscrewing, do not use ratchet extensions to avoid damage to the ratchet.
The use of a burner flame is highly discouraged due to the increased risk of fire. Tighten the connections with a torque wrench, which will facilitate subsequent disassembly. In a number of fasteners, to loosen a threaded connection, it is recommended to first tighten it slightly.
