Rover 2000 and 3500 cars used a coil spring front suspension system with an unusual layout. The coil springs sit in a horizontal position to the rear of the front wheel arches. Each wheel has one coil spring and one telescopic damper. A vertical strut, called the swivel pillar, is connected at its bottom end to the stub axle assembly. The bottom link and bottom link strut are also connected to the bottom of the swivel pillar, by means of a ball joint. These bottom link and link struts are then connected at their other ends to the car's underbody opposite the wheel hub assembly. The top of the swivel pillar is connected via a ball joint to a suspension arm. The arm pivots on a long, transverse bearing, each end of which is connected to the bulkhead. The suspension arm itself consists of a rod with a central "Y"-shaped projection. The swivel pillar is connected to one of the branches of the "Y"-shape and the coil spring is connected to the other branch. The other end of the coil spring is firmly attached to the bulkhead.
