Rear Suspension
DescriptionThe rear suspension system is the torsion beam axle type separated with spring and damper.
The rear suspension system works as follows:
^ Suspension action is semi-independent, with the wheels carried on trailing arms, rigidly connected to each other by a torsion beam.
^ The beam provides positive control of trailing arm alignment, yet flexes in torsion to permit limited independent wheel action, and is welded with the stabilizer bar at the beam to prevent it from rolling.
^ For isolation of road vibration, heavy rubber bushings are installed at the torsion beam/trailing arm body brackets, and rubber insulators cushion the spring seats in the strut towers.
