REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. The rear coil spring and shock absorber assembly are located separately, ensuring a large luggage space.

    2. A mono tube type shock absorber with a multi-leaf type linear control valve is used.

    3. A rebound spring is used in the shock absorbers. While turning, rebound of the inside wheels is restricted by the rebound spring, reducing vehicle roll to ensure stability and controllability.

    4. The mono tube type shock absorber ensures dampening at extremely low piston speeds, achieving a smooth ride with a natural and linear steering response. Additionally, a good dampening response and coupling of the absorber is ensured, restricting unnecessary movement of the springs in consideration of handling and ride comfort.

    5. Low-friction hydraulic oil and resin free pistons with a sliding ring are used, achieving both a reduction of friction against the cylinder wall and improving damping force response, realizing excellent ride comfort.
