Front Suspension

Independent Strut Design

• To provide car-like handling and response, Murano’s front suspension features an independent strut design that’s similar to Altima’s.

• The Strut design uses fewer parts, reduces weight and helps provide greater durability than many other front suspension designs.

• A new type of pinch-bolt knuckle attachment is used on the lower joint for added strength and durability in an SUV application.

• Due to Murano’s weight and higher center of gravity, thicker stabilizer bars are used to achieve the target roll motion.

• The front stabilizer bar is attached to the struts to help increase roll stiffness.

• New rubber mounts positioned between the upper and lower spring mounting points help to reduce NVH.

• Paint marks located on the top coil of the front spring are designed to prevent unintentional reversal of the spring during front suspension assembly.

Rear Suspension

Independent Multi-Link Rear Suspension

• Murano’s sophisticated multi-link rear suspension is rare in an SUV application.

• Use of multiple suspension links between the wheels and chassis and rubber mounts enhances control of wheel movement, combining excellent handling with a smooth and comfortable ride.

• Separation between springs and shock absorbers improves suspension

performance by reducing friction and allowing components to perform without compromise.

• Use of lightweight aluminum-alloy upper control arms reduces the weight of the suspension.

Wheels and Tires

Aluminum Alloy Wheels

Spare Tire
