THE front suspension of the Cougar is by MacPherson struts (pictured) with angled coil spring/damper units and lower A-arms mounted on vertical bushes.

The suspension arms, anti-roll bar and steering rack are mounted on a separate perimeter front sub-frame. The rear suspension is via an independent "Quadralink" system with strut-type coil spring/damper units two transverse and one trailing arm each side, incorporating rear wheel steering. A rear anti-roll bar is also fitted.
