#PartQtyWhat it does
1 Coil Spring 1× Helical spring of round steel wire that stores energy in compression or extension, used for suspension, return force, and preload.
2 Shock Absorber 4 parts 1× Telescopic hydraulic damper that converts suspension motion into heat through oil forced past valved orifices, controlling body movement over bumps.
3 Strut Top Mount 1×
4 Control Arm 1× Steel or aluminium suspension link that locates the wheel hub and lets it move up and down on rubber bushings and a ball joint.
5 Ball Joint 1× Spherical bearing in a sealed socket that lets a suspension arm or tie rod pivot in all directions while carrying load.
6 Wheel Hub 3 parts 1× Rotating hub unit with bearing, flange, and studs that mounts the wheel and brake disc to the suspension.
