Suspension: Description and Operation

Suspension Fasteners
New fasteners must be installed if the old fasteners are loosened or removed. They must be replaced with the same part number or an equivalent part if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. The specified torque value must be used during assembly to ensure correct part retention.

Rear Axle Bumpers
The rear axle bumpers are used to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the rear axle and the frame.

Stabilizer Bar
The rear stabilizer bar transmits forces to control vehicle roll during cornering.

Shock Absorbers
The shock absorbers provide the necessary suspension dampening control.

Rear Spring
Semi-elliptic, leaf-type rear springs are used for the rear suspension.
