DESCRIPTION
Suspension There are three major components in the rear suspension system:
- Rear suspension lower arms
- Rear springs
- Rear shock absorbers

The rear axle housing is suspended from the vehicle frame as follows:
- Two short rear suspension arm and bushings control the side-to-side sway of the vehicle.
- Two longer rear suspension lower arms manage the forward and rearward movement of the rear axle housing.

OPERATION
Rear Springs
- Two rear springs are connected between the rear axle and frame.
- Each rear spring is mounted to an upper seat integral with the frame and a lower seat welded to the rear axle housing.

The rear shock absorbers:
- provide motion and force damping of the rear suspension during suspension travel.
- consist of a twin tube, gas pressurized structure damping in both rebound (up) and compression (down) directions.

The rear stabilizer bar:
- aids in control of suspension travel and restricts body roll.
- attaches to the axle housing and to the body through stabilizer bar links.
