    All-New Ford Mustang: SuspensionStarting a significantly stiffer body structure as the foundation, the all-new Ford Mustang

    features a fully independent suspension system specifically optimized and tuned to achievea world-class blend of vehicle dynamics and improved ride quality. This is expected to be th

    quickest and most refined Mustang yet.

    Double-ball-joint MacPherson

    strut front suspension enables

    larger, more powerful brakes

    without excessive wheel offsets

    that would hurt steering feel

    Non-isolated perimeter

    subframe replaces individual

    crossmembers, stiffening the

    front structure while

    reducing mass

    Aluminum rear knuckles reduce

    unsprung mass

    Driver can adjust electric power-assisted steering effort

    individually or through

    Selectable Drive Modes

    NOTEWORTHY

    The geometry of the all-independent

    suspension has been tuned to

    provide twice as much anti-squat,

    anti-li and anti-dive force at each

    axle. This helps keep Mustangs

    body more level under hard

    acceleration or braking.
