The rear suspension is an independent, dual link strut
type. It consists of two parallel lateral links, a trailing link
which moves back and forth, and strut COMPL's . The
strut COMPL is joined with a cylindrical double- acting
oil damper and coil spring .
The respective component parts of this suspension are
optimally designed to act in response to vertical, lateral
and longitudinal loads transmitted from the tires . Thus,
riding comfort and steering stability are substantially
enhanced .
Longitudinal loads act on the trailing link.
e Vertical loads act on the coil spring, rear strut and
rear rubber mount (which is located on the strut) .
Lateral loads act on the two lateral links .
" The lower end of the stabilizer is installed on the
housing via a stabilizer link wich uses a ball joint .
e The rear subframe supports the trailing link, lateral
link and rear differential. It is connected to the car body
via bushings (four places) to effectively dampen vibra-
tion and noise transmitted from the drive-line system
and road surfaces .
