GENERAL DESCRIPTION

AND SYSTEM OPERATION

REAR SUSPENSION

The rear suspension is fully independent and consists of
a crossmember with four parallel links, two trailing links,
two strut assemblies with coil springs and insulators, and
two knuckles containing the hub and bearing assemblies.
The strut assemblies support the weight of the vehicle us-
ing coil springs positioned around the strut dampeners.

The coil springs are seated on insulators attached to the
upper mount and the lower spring seat of the strut assem-
bly. The parallel links and the trailing link bracket have rub-
ber isolator bushings at each end and are attached to the
crossmember and the knuckle. The rear parallel link is at-
tached to the crossmember through adjustment cams that
are used to adjust rear toe. The trailing links are attached
to the body, through the trailing link bracket, and the bot-
tom of the knuckle. A forged knuckle bolts to each strut as-
sembly. Lateral movement of the knuckle is controlled by
the parallel links. Fore and aft movement of the knuckle is
controlled by the trailing link.
