Rear Suspension





GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Rear suspension is coil spring type of rigid axle which consists of coil springs, rear axle, shock absorbers, upper arm and trailing rods.
The trailing rod is connected with the axle and body by using bushes so that axle moves up and down with bushes as their supporting points.
The upper arm is installed to the body and the axle (differential carrier) by using bushes and ball joint so as to prevent axle movement in the lateral direction. It also prevents axle from turning in forward and backward direction, which occurs due to reaction when brake is applied and when engine is driven.
The shock absorber is installed between the body and axle to absorb up-and-down movement of the vehicle body.
