Suspension - Rear: Description
"E" and "K" bodies use an independent transverse-mounted leaf spring rear suspension. The leaf spring is a single leaf design and is constructed of a lightweight composite material. All rear suspension components are mounted on a suspension crossmember assembly. The crossmember is mounted to the body at 4 points and is fully isolated with bushings and insulators to minimize noise transmission to the body.
Each rear wheel is connected to the crossmember by the knuckle, through a hub and bearing assembly, air adjustable struts and lower control arms. A rear stabilizer bar is optional. Electronic Level Control (ELC) is used to maintain rear riding height for a wide range of vehicle load conditions.
