Rear Axle: Notes

The rear axle carrier, the control arms and the swinging arms are made of aluminum. The concept is that of the Integral 4 rear axle. All the bearings used on the rear axle are rubber bearings. Tension struts serve to increase body rigidity.

The stabilizer bar is fitted behind the rear axle carrier. The ride level sensors have been moved forward.
