WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 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:
- Axle jounce bumpers
- Leaf springs
- Shock absorbers
- Stabilizer bar
- Stabilizer bar links
- Wheel studs
The rear suspension system 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.
