Rear Suspension

REAR SUSPENSION





Outline
The rear suspension is an independent, dual link strut type. It consists of two parallel lateral links, a trailing link, and strut assembly. The strut assembly consists of a cylindrical double-acting oil damper and coil spring.

The respective component parts of this suspension are optimally designed to act in response to vertical, lateral and longitudinal loads transmitted from the tires. Thus, riding comfort and steering controllability and driving stability are substantially enhanced.
- Longitudinal loads act on the trailing link.
- Vertical loads act on the coil spring, strut and strut mount (which is located on the top of strut).
- Lateral loads act on the two lateral links.
The crossmember is installed on the body frame via bushings. (AWD model)
The stabilizer that extends to the rear of the crossmember, is installed on the body frame via a bracket and connected to the rear lateral link on the wheel side via stabilizer link.
