The struts are fitted with telescopic shock absorbers and both suspension units are mounted on a subframe. An anti-roll bar is fitted to the track control arm on some models (see illustration). The rear suspension comprises a transverse torsion axle with trailing arms rubber-bushed to the body. The axle is attached to the lower ends of the shock 1081 VW Golf & Jetta absorbers, which act as struts since they incorporate mountings for the coil springs (see illustration). The steering is of rack and pinion type mounted on the front subframe. The tie-rods are attached to a single coupling which is itself bolted to the steering rack. Power assistance is fitted to some models.
