CONSTRUCTION
A forged-aluminum rear upper control arm assembly, rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly and toe control arm (rear steering tie rod assembly) are used to achieve a lightweight yet highly rigid structure.
Hollow type arms are used for the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly to achieve a lightweight yet highly rigid structure.
The rear No. 1 upper control arm assembly has an open cross sectioned arm for optimal rigidity.
The rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly has an integrated spring perch, which supports the bottom of the coil spring.
In addition, the rear suspension arm bracket assembly is located rearward ensuring excellent traction and stability when turning.
Optimization of the characteristics of each bush ensures excellent ride comfort, controllability and vehicle stability.
A straight toe control arm (rear steering tie rod assembly) is used to ensure toe angle stability. Additionally, the toe control arm (rear steering tie rod assembly) is directly tightened with the rear suspension arm bracket assembly, ensuring high rigidity.
