Dual-Axis Front Suspension

What’s the Benefit?

This design enhances steering geometry for high-performance driving while simultaneously minimizing torque steer, for more direct, enjoyable cornering and acceleration.


The Feature:

The dual-axis MacPherson strut front suspension for Prelude has been adapted from the ultra-high-performance Civic Type R.

  • This suspension uses additional, highly rigid components to separate the steering axis from the damper axis.
  • This helps insulate the steering system from the effects of delivering peak horsepower through the front wheels, known as torque steer, for enhanced steering precision.
