Rear Suspension

The rear suspension of the car consists of two longitudinal trailing arms (1) with integrated transverse arms (2). The rear wheels are suspended on the trailing arms. The rear suspension also features a tubular anti-roll bar (3).





The transverse arms are supported in a transverse mounting (4) in the opposite trailing arm. In principle the trailing arms and their transverse arms operate as a unit, however, rubber bushings do allow a degree of movement relative to one another. Each trailing arm is attached to the body via a steering link (5) (rear axle link). Within limits this steering link allows the wheel predetermined changes in direction. The steering link system compensates for the elasticity of the rear axle by resisting lateral forces. When the body is subject to lateral forces during cornering, the rear wheels move sideways without affecting the steering. This design allows the car to maintain neutral steering making it stable and easy to control. The rear wheels have a negative camber of 1.0°.
