Rear Suspension

Rear Suspension

The rear suspension consists of the following components:

- Twist-beam axle (torsionally rigid axle)

- Coil springs

- Shock absorbers

- Wheel bearing and wheel hub assemblies

- Wheel studs

If compression takes place on both wheels evenly (for example when a load is placed on the vehicle), the whole axle unit swivels evenly in the rubber-metal bearings. If only one wheel is compressed, the cross-beam twists (undergoes torsion) and acts as a stabilizer. This minimizes track and toe changes.
