Rear Suspension

Rear Suspension
The rear suspension consists of the following components:
^ Wheel knuckles
^ Wheel hubs
^ Wheel bearings
^ Wheel studs
^ Upper arms
^ Lower arms
^ Shock absorbers
^ Coil springs

The rear suspension utilizes an independent short/long arm design. This suspension system incorporates a separate wheel knuckle for each wheel and allows the wheels to react to road imperfections independent of each other. This independent action offers improved isolation from the effects of jounce and rebound.

When a new wheel knuckle is installed on the all wheel drive (AWD) vehicle, a new wheel bearing must also be installed.
