Re: Differences in suspension (phase 1 & Phase 2) S40-V40 1998

Track width was increased on the Phase-II models and the wheelbase was increased a little (12mm or so) by rearranging the suspension setup.

Steering was adjusted and springs/shocks and mounting were changed.

Those were the major changes to the suspension.

I suspect there will be no changes anymore (except for some cosmetic model-year changes like taillight/spoiler tweaks) until the new P1 platform based S40/V50 models come out in 2003.

Bye, Arno.
