Handling control plays such an important role in the driver/sports coupe relationship, engineers designed the components of Probes suspen- sion, steering, and braking systems to perform as a single, integrated handling system. Probe has a 4-wheel independent suspension with MacPherson struts/coil springs all around. its stabilizer bars, strut valving, spring rates and bushings are specically tuned for an excellent In a car engineered balance of ride quality mag: :Iiliin? and tight, solid handling. individual chassis The front suspension components work t m te . T together as a single U 9 S emg geomery handling system. and the half-shafts of equal length work together to virtually eliminate the condition called torque steer the tendency of the car to turn in a particular direction when hard acceleration is applied. The duadralink rear system is designed to offset the wheels natural inclination to toe-out under the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking (which can reduce stability and control) by eliminating toe change. This enables the wheels to maintain their effective alignment for excellent sensitivity to directional changes. in Probe you have the added traction of front- wheel drive. The rack-andpinion power steering system is precise, with a firm on-oentre feel. The power brakes are responsive and resistant to fade. And for world-class stopping capability, therels the optional 4-wheel disc anti-lock brake system. speed manoeuvring \ \ as well as in lower- _\ \ speed cornering.

With its sport- tuned suspension components and low-profile 16-inch performance radials, the GT takes Probes excellent handling capability to even greater heights of high-perfor- mance driving enjoyment.
