Suspension and steering Camry XV50/XV55
Review of the pros and cons of the volkswagen passat cc
The suspension showed itself to be excellent; the range of breakdowns in addition to the stabilizer struts begins after 150 thousand, although there have been cars that have driven two hundred on original parts. By this mileage you will have to change the front shock absorbers, support bearings, ball joints, and silent blocks. It will all start at 150 thousand km, and then gradually you will have to change it, or pay a large amount at once to replace everything.
The steering rack is now complemented by an electric power steering with weak information content. The design has proven to be excellent, for example, the tips last a couple of hundred, and the traction is even greater. The braking system requires calipers to be lubricated, and the rotors themselves often overheat in aggressive drivers, especially those with a heavy V6 engine.
