Rear Suspension

DESCRIPTION





The rear suspension design used on this vehicle is a twist beam trailing axle type with vertically mounted coil springs.

The rear suspension consists of these major components:

- Axle (3)
- Coil spring (2 per vehicle) (1)
- Hub and bearing (2 per vehicle)
- Jounce bumper (2 per vehicle)
- Shock absorber (2 per vehicle) (4)
- Track bar (2)

The rear axle has a tubular torsion tube running through the center of its width. It also has two trailing arms, one extending from each end of the axle forward. Each trailing arm has a rubber pivot bushing pressed into it. The bushings can be serviced separately.

The springs used on the rear suspension are the coil type. They are mounted straight above the rear axle beam in line with the rear wheels. Both ends of the coil spring are identical. Either end of the spring can be the top or the bottom. Coil springs come in various heights and weight loads; be sure the correct spring is in use.
