Front suspension
The front suspension is dependent, the suspension consists of a rigid axle beam and elastic elements - springs and shock absorbers (on FJ60, 62 vehicles), or springs and shock absorbers with levers and a crossbar (on FJ80 vehicles). To reduce the tilt of the body when turning, a stabilizer bar is provided. The steering knuckle supports are radial thrust 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 FJ60, 62 vehicles), or springs and shock absorbers with levers and a crossbar (on FJ80 vehicles). To reduce body tilt when turning, the rear suspension also has an anti-roll bar.
Steering
The cars are equipped with a hydraulic power steering. The steering mechanism consists of a worm-and-ball gearbox, a steering knuckle and rods (there is no pendulum lever in this design). Between the middle rod and the bridge, a vibration damper is mounted, 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, it is recommended to clean corroded connections with a brush and wet them with penetrating liquid. Sometimes a threaded connection can be loosened by sharp blows of a punch on the nut. When loosening, do not use extensions with ratchets to avoid breakage of the ratchet.
Using a torch flame is highly discouraged due to the increased risk of fire. Tighten the connections with a torque wrench, which will facilitate subsequent disassembly. In some fasteners, it is recommended to first slightly tighten the threaded connection to loosen it.
