Rear Suspension - RWD - Overview (G970031): Overview

The double wishbone type rear-suspension is a fully independent design assembled on a steel subframe; large diameter bushes isolate the subframe from the vehicle's body.

A toe-link located between the wheel knuckle and the subframe is used to adjust the toe angle of the rear wheels.

The wheel knuckle attaches to the upper and lower control arms, and the coil spring and damper assembly is located between the lower control arm and the vehicle body.

Depending on vehicle model there are three types of coil spring and damper available:

• a standard oil passive damper (All models except supercharged),
• an adaptive damper, also known as Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS) on 4.2L supercharged vehicles up to 2010MY, For additional information refer to Vehicle Dynamic Suspension 4.2L.
• a continuously variable adaptive damper, also known as Adaptive Dynamics System on 5.0L supercharged vehicles from 2010MY. For additional information refer to Vehicle Dynamic Suspension 5.0L.
