Rear Suspension




Rear Suspension

The rear suspension consists of the following components:

- Lower control arms
- Shock absorber and spring assemblies
- Stabilizer bar
- Stabilizer bar bushings and brackets
- Stabilizer bar links
- Toe links
- Trailing arms
- Upper control arms (camber adjustment)
- Wheel bearings
- Wheel hubs
- Wheel knuckles
- Wheel studs

The rear suspension utilizes an independent short/long 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.
