Kia has an image problem. Well, not really. The South Korean automaker is often found in the shadow of Hyundai, the automotive giant which owns a significant chunk of the company. Kia is actually part of the Hyundai Kia Automotive Group, which is based in Seoul and the two automakers share several platforms for various models.

In North America, we're familiar with the many different economically priced models including the Sorento, Optima, Rio, and Spectra, to name a few. Kia is also big on building concept cars, including the KOUP which made its debut at the 2008 New York International Auto Show.

The KOUP is an attractive sport coupe, reminding me of the Nissan SX cars and including expressive lines you see on today's iteration of the muscle car. Clearly, if the KOUP comes out as shown (please, toss the name!) it could be a landmark model for Kia.

A 2.0-liter Theta II turbocharged engine producing 290 horsepower paired with a GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) twin scroll turbocharger designed to deliver superior power and fuel efficiency. By means of injecting fuel directly into the cylinder under high pressure using the Kia GDI system, the intake charge is cooled and combustion behavior is improved. Improved combustion assures excellent fuel economy and low emissions. Lower grille openings enable additional air intake for extra power. Kia claims that the KOUP delivers torque of 289 lb-ft at a low 2,000 rpm sustained to 4,000 rpm.

Kia says this about the the car: utilizing a FWD unibody frame, coil springs and stabilizer bars complement an independent front suspension featuring MacPherson struts and an independent dual link rear suspension to provide the optimal balance of ride comfort and engine responsiveness. An engine-speed-sensitive, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system adds the finishing touch for precise handling. Continuous Damping Control (CDC) for quick movements and sharp turns paired with a sport-tuned, four-wheel independent suspension and strut tower bar offer a tighter grip for more spirited driving.

Will the KOUP go into production? Time will tell, but if the car is produced it could significantly improve Kia's budget image.

Suspension-alternatives.com – "Your Suspension Parts Expert..."

Suspension Alternatives builds and resells car and truck suspension parts. We offer suspension components like coil springs, air suspension, leaf springs, sway bars, bushings, shocks, and struts to enhance your automotive performance or to replace your OEM suspension parts.

Below you will find a description of each of the important suspension parts for various types of cars and trucks.

Suspension Springs are the suspension system's primary line of defense. When you drive you will certainly encounter bumps and dips. These variables within the surface of the street or the backcountry road send force up through the wheels. Bumps send your wheels skyward, and dips draw them down. The suspension spring's task is to absorb this power and carry your wheels back to a condition of equilibrium. You will find several standard types of Suspension Springs used on contemporary vehicles: Leaf Springs, Coil Springs, Torsion Bars, and Air Springs.

Suspension Bushings connect your expensive suspension components together, serve as protective seals to connection points, and are vital to how they function.  Suspension Bushings work like cartilage in between the bones in your body. They make a perfect connection between the different parts of your suspension system.  This results in perfect suspension alignment and drastically better handling.

The Suspension Compressor is the differentiating part between standard suspension and self leveling suspension. Self leveling suspensions are often offered in luxury cars are updates. The suspension adjust according to the driver's input; the suspension compressor does the adjusting.

Many people think that performance programmers are only used to unleash your engine's hidden horsepower and torque. While this is their primary job, performance programmers also have another important function: speedometer recalibration. Installing bigger tires or a different rear-end gear set throws your speedometer out of whack, which can lead to a ticket and a day in traffic court. A performance programmer recalibrates your engine's speed sensor to give you an accurate readout of your velocity. Check out our Performance Programmer Research Guide for more details.

A vertically challenged motorist might tie boxes to his shoes to reach the pedals. Likewise, an undersized vehicle can easily add a couple of inches with a set of blocks. These spacers fit in between the rear coil spring and axle for a fast height hike that does not affect stock ride quality.

Front coil springs and struts are becoming increasingly popular on trucks and SUVs, and they can be lifted with spacers the same as rear springs are raised with blocks. The spacers sit on top or below your front springs to add a couple inches without dramatically altering your stock ride characteristics.

Springs are great at absorbing energy, but not so good at dissipating it.  The suspension part required to help smooth you're your suspension system is called a Shock Absorber (sometimes called a Snubber).  It is a device that controls unwanted spring motion through a process known as dampering.  Shock Absorbers slow down and reduce the magnitude of vibratory motions by turning energy of suspension movement into energy that can be dissipated through hydraulics.  A Shock Absorber is placed between the frame of the car or truck and the wheels.  The upper mount of the shock connects to the frame, while the lower mount connects to the axle, near the wheel.  When the car wheel encounters a bump in the road and causes the suspension to "contract and expand" the energy of the suspension is transferred to the Shock Absorber.  All modern Shock Absorbers are velocity-sensitive.  This means the faster the suspension moves, the more resistance the Shock Absorber provides.  This enables shocks to adjust to road conditions and to control all of the unwanted motions that can occur in a moving vehicle, including bounce, sway, brake dive, and acceleration squat.

Anti-Sway Bars (also known as anti-roll bars) are used to give a moving vehicle additional stability.  An Anti-Sway Bar is a metal rod that spans the entire axle and effectively connects both sides of the suspension.  When the suspension at one wheel moves, the Anti-Sway Bar transfers the movement to the other wheel.  This creates a more even ride and reduces vehicle sway.  Specifically, it combats the roll of a car on its suspension as it corners.  Today, almost all cars are fitted with Anti-Sway Bars as standard equipment and if they are not kits make it easy to install the bars at any time.

Traction bars are hefty rigid bars or tubes of tempered steel with pivoted brackets on both ends. The front ends of the bars connect to the front spring mounts on the vehicle frame. The rear brackets bolt to the bottom of the drive axle. Traction bars keep the axle from twisting backwards while it forces the drive wheels to turn forwards, completely eliminating leaf spring windup, and keeping the rear drive wheels forced down to the pavement for superior traction.

In an automobile, ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles. More specifically, a ball joint is a steel bearing stud and socket enclosed in a steel casing. The bearing stud is tapered and threaded. It fits into a tapered hole in the steering knuckle. A protective encasing prevents dirt from getting into the joint assembly. Motion control ball joints tend to be retained with an internal spring, which helps to prevent vibration problems in the linkage. Commonly found in automotive throttle linkages, throttle body set ups, these are also widely used on construction equipment, the end of gas springs and also in children's toys.   BUMP STOPS & BUMPERS A bump stop is a rubber placed in the shock absorber piston to prevent it form bottoming out.

Steering Parts make up the steering system that allow you to safely control your vehicle.  There are two basic types of steering systems, standard mechanical steering and rack & pinion steering. The standard mechanical steering can be either power assisted or non-power. Rack & pinion is almost always power assisted although there are rare cases where it is not.  Standard mechanical steering uses a series of links and arms to insure both wheels turn in the same direction at the same time. It hasn't changed much in all the years it's been used and is quite simple.  Steering Parts will include power steering, steering box and steering gearbox, rack & pinion, steering knuckles, spindle kits, steering stabilizers, control arms, idler arms, and pitman arms.

I-Beams provide your truck a level of lowering while improving the handling. Factory ride quality and critical front end geometry are maintained.

A strut bar, strut brace, or strut tower brace (STB) is a mostly aftermarket car suspension accessory to provide extra stiffness between the strut towers.  A strut tower is a reinforced portion of the inner wheel well and is not necessarily directly connected to the main chassis rails.  There is inherent flex within the strut towers relative to the chassis rails.  A strut bar is designed to reduce this strut tower flex by tying two parallel strut towers together. This transmits the load of each strut tower during cornering via tension and compression of the strut bar which shares the load between both towers and reduces chassis flex.

What's the difference between a '73 Malibu spindle and '73 Monte spindle?

Aren't they the same? I know the center link is different because of the steering stabilizer, but aren't most other parts compatible?
MEDIC ---> your attempt at being witty fell horribly short of the mark. Stick to silence.

McClaren ---> is there a way to verify that through part numbers? Aren't Camaros "F" bodies?

There shouldn't be any difference. They were both A-body platform. The 73-77 A-bodies also actually used the front suspension components from the F-bodies, so even F-body spindles should fit.

I think that they may have different part numbers depending on the specific model. Yes Camaro's and Firebirds are F-bodies.
