REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM DETAILS


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. Rear Coil Spring and Rear Shock Absorber Assembly


      1. Both ends of the coil spring have been formed into a small-diameter, pigtail shape. The compact construction has been designed to accommodate the low floor package.

      2. Spring insulators are provided at the top and bottom ends of the rear coil springs, and the thickness of the insulators has been optimized to reduce vibration and achieve excellent ride comfort.

      3. The low-pressure N2gas sealed rear shock absorber assembly delivers stable damping force characteristics, providing excellent maneuverability and ride comfort.

        Note

        To prevent hazardous conditions, make sure to empty the gas from the shock absorber before discarding an N2gas sealed shock absorber. For details, refer to the Repair Manual.

    2. Axle Beam and Trailing Arm


      1. The axle beam offers not only high rigidity but also stability by optimized shearing center position.

      2. The trailing arm is fixed on the body via an angled bushing.
