Rear Suspension
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Sable, 2008 Ford Taurus X, and 2008 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The rear suspension consists of the following components:
- Lower arm(s)
- Upper arm(s)
- Wheel bearing and wheel hub(s)
- Wheel knuckle(s)
- Shock absorber and spring(s)
- Stabilizer bar(s)
- Stabilizer bar link(s)
- Trailing arm(s)
- Toe link(s)
- Upper arm(s)
- Wheel bearing and wheel hub(s)
- Wheel knuckle(s)
The rear suspension utilizes an independent multi-link arm design. This suspension system incorporates a separate wheel knuckle for each wheel and allows the wheels to react to road imperfections independent of each other. This independent action offers improved isolation from the effects of jounce and rebound.
