OUTLINE
A multi-link type suspension is used.
Through the optimal allocation and characteristics of components, the rear suspension ensures excellent ride comfort and controllability.
Changes to the toe during suspension stroke are suppressed as much as possible, thus ensuring that a straight line is kept in spite of road surface disturbances. In addition, the toe control link sub-assembly is located rearward and a large tire grip is generated during turning, thus aiming for an improvement in stability when turning.
A rear upper control arm assembly and a toe control link sub-assembly which are forged from aluminum are used, thus aiming for both weight reduction and high rigidity.
High-strength sheet steel is used for the rear No. 1 upper control arm assembly and 2 rear suspension arm assemblies, thus achieving weight reduction.
A urethane bound stopper is used and each component such as the rear stabilizer bush has been optimized, thus ensuring superior ride comfort and stability.
The rear coil spring and the rear shock absorber assembly are located separately, thus enlarging luggage space.
Due to the use of semicircular metal fittings on each front stabilizer bushing, the deflection amount of the bushing and the friction against the stabilizer bar is reduced. This enables the front stabilizer bushing to be effective even during initial steering operation and ensures good roll characteristics.
