NOTE. For category M 1 and N 1, refer to MS Normative references The following normative reference is indispensable for the application of this standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the normative reference (including any amendments) applies. MS 1822, Classification and definition of power-driven vehicles and trailers JIS D 0202, General rules of coating films for automobile parts JIS Z 2371, Methods of salt spray testing 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 Suspension strut ABS sensor bracket An integral mounting bracket to mount the ABS sensor wire harness to the strut brake hose bracket An integral mounting bracket to mount the brake hose to the strut knuckle bracket A bracket used to mount the complete hub assembly with the strut spring seat A supporting metal pan for the coil spring, normally welded, press fitted or can be a threaded collar mounted to the body of the strut stabiliser bar bracket An integral mounting bracket to mount the stabiliser bar to the strut. STANDARDS MALAYSIA All rights reserved 1

6 3.2 Telescopic shock absorber eye type mount A metal collar welded to the piston rod or body of shock absorber where rubber mounting is installed for the purpose of assembling the shock absorber to the vehicle. This type of mounting is known as ring or collar type stud type mount A threaded metal rod welded to the piston rod or body of shock absorber where mounting parts are installed for the purpose of assembling the shock absorber to the vehicle. This type of mounting is known as end bolt type U type mount U type metal bracket normally welded to the body of shock absorber for the purpose of assembling the shock absorber to the vehicle. This type of mounting is known as fork type. 4 Classification of vehicles Vehicles classifications are based on kerb weight as specified in Table 1. Vehicle category Table 1. Classification of vehicles Description A Small car < B Medium car C Large car D Large executive MPV-a Small MPV < MPV-b Medium MPV MPV-c Large MPV > SUV Sport Utility Vehicles - SUV Pick up Kerb weight (kg) Separate frame chassis vehicles STANDARDS MALAYSIA All rights reserved
