Rear Suspension
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The rear suspension consists of the following components:
- Panhard rod and bushings
- Lower arms
- Stabilizer bar and links
- Coil springs
- Shock absorbers
- Lateral stiffener bar
- Upper arm and bushing
The rear suspension system is a solid axle type. The solid drive axle is supported by coil springs and uses shock absorbers to help dampen out the vertical movement of the vehicle. A lateral stiffener bar is used to strengthen the body with the panhard rod providing lateral stability for the axle. The upper arm and the lower arm provide longitudinal stability for the axle. The stabilizer bar and links are included to control lean/sway during turns.
