Rear Suspension

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The rear suspension consists of the following components:

Lower arms
Lower trailing arms
Ride height sensors (Vehicles with Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) Suspension)
Shock absorber and coil spring assemblies
Stabilizer bar and links
Toe links
Upper arms
Upper trailing arms
Wheel bearing and wheel hub assemblies
Wheel knuckles

The vehicle can be equipped with either a vehicle dynamic suspension (using Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD)) or a standard suspension (using shock absorber and coil spring assemblies in the rear of the vehicle). Both are an independent-type rear suspension which utilize a stabilizer bar to aid in vehicle stability. The wheel hub and wheel bearing assemblies are sealed units and are serviced as assemblies. The rear suspension has serviceable lower ball joints and wheel knuckle bushings. The rear suspension also incorporates toe links to adjust the rear toe and a camber adjustment can be made using camber shims located at the upper arm-to-frame mounts.
