Rear Suspension System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford Pickup, 2008 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2008 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The rear suspension consists of the following components:
- Shock absorbers
- Leaf springs
- Stabilizer bar
- Stabilizer bar links
- Axle jounce bumpers
The rear suspension system for the F-Super Duty utilizes a solid driving axle supported by shock absorbers and semi-elliptic, leaf-type rear springs. The rear suspension may also incorporate a stabilizer bar to enhance vehicle stability. Rear vehicle height can be adjusted through the use of shims placed between the axle and the leaf springs.
Observe all safety precautions when servicing the rear suspension system.
