You have the Twin-I beam system as it is a two wheel drive. Monobeam is the solid front axle in the 4X4's. Use 2CarPros anytime, we are here to help. Please tell a friend.

Hello, I'm Danny.

No, your front suspension is not Monobeam but called torsion bar style suspension. I've attached a picture below. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
