Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Rear Suspension

All models use a rear spring and solid rear axle suspension system. The rear axle is attached to multi-rear springs by U-bolts. The front of the spring ends are attached to the frame at the front hangers through rubber bushings. The rear of the spring ends are attached to the frame with shackles that allow the springs to change their length (due to the spring compressing) while the vehicle is in motion. Ride control is provided by two identical direct dual-action shock absorbers, angle-mounted between the frame and brackets which are attached to the axle tubes.
