Fig. 2 Exploded view of rear suspension assembly:

These vehicles use a tri-link independent rear suspension system with a transverse leaf spring and tubular struts with large lateral links attached to the body crossmember, Figs. 1 and 2. The three mounting points are the crossmember, strut tower and trailing arm. The cross member is stamped steel and the composite fiberglass mono leaf spring is transversely mounted to the under side of the crossmember, with its padded ends free riding on the cast knuckle assembly.
