The initial suspension system of the Legend used MacPherson struts with unequal-length control arms in front and a semi-trailing arm design in the rear.

Steering is rack-and-pinion, with speed-sensitive power assist and an overall ratio of 15.9:1 on the coupes and 17.6:1 on the sedans.

BRAKES
Every Legend has four-wheel disc brakes. The vented front rotors on 1986-1987 sedans measure 10.3 inches (262mm) in diameter and the solid rear rotors measure 10.2 inches (259mm). Sedans from 1988-1990 and all coupes had 11-inch (280mm) rotors in the front and 10.16-inch (258mm) in the rear. ABS was available on upmarket models.

WHEELS
All models are fitted with 205/60R15 tires, with several different wheel options. The 1986-1988 sedans were equipped with 6.5x14-inch 16-spoke alloys, all coupes used a 20–spoke turbine design, and 1989-1990 sedans came with 20-spoke alloys.
