Rear Suspension

Rear suspension (Five links & coil)





Caution: When tightening (by specified torque) the nuts of the arms and links of the rear suspension system, the wheels of the vehicle shall be in contact with ground and under loads (2 passengers load at the front seats if possible).

Rear suspension
The rear suspension design on this vehicle uses coil springs, five links, shock absorber, stabilizer and rear axle assembly.
It is designed to handle the various load requirements of the vehicle. The rear coil springs provide a comfortable unloaded ride and also ample rear suspension travel when the vehicle is loaded.

Rear wheel alignment
Alignment adjustment is not required. The rear axle alignment setting are preset at the factory, therefore no alignment is necessary.

Panhard rod
The panhard rod prevents excessive side to side movement of the rear axle. The panhard rod is used to keep the location of the axle in the correct position for optimum handling and control of the vehicle.

Stabilizer bar
The stabilizer bar interconnects both sides of the rear axle and attaches to the rear lower arm jounce. Rebound movements affecting one wheel are partially transmitted to the opposite wheel to reduce body roll. All parts are serviceable, and axle bushings to the stabilizer is split for easy removal and replacement.
