Description and Operation: General Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Hummer H2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
All vehicles use a 5-link rear suspension consisting of the following components:
- Upper and Lower Control Arms
- Stabilizer Shaft
- Shock Absorbers
- Track Bar
- Coil Springs
- Air Springs
The ride control is provided by 2 identical direct dual-action shock absorbers that are angle-mounted between the frame and the brackets, which are attached to the axle tubes.
To compensate for vehicle weight, the coil springs are different for the left and right sides. Do not interchange.
Coil spring or air spring suspensions are available. For more information on air spring components, refer to Air Suspension Description and Operation .
