ShortlLong Arm Suspension (SLA)
I '
Your vehicle uses an independent short/long arm rear suspension. All the
rear suspension components are mounted on a suspension support which
is attached to the body at four points and is fully isolated with bushings
and insulators to minimize road noise. Each rear wheel is connected
to
the suspension support through the suspension knuckle using an upper
and lower control arm and toe link.
The control arms and toe link are attached to the suspension support on
the inboard side, and to a suspension knuckle on the outboard side. The
hub and bearing assembly is mounted t o the knuckle and is a single, non-
serviceable unit which eliminates the need for wheel bearing adjustment.
The load leveling (ELC) shock absorbers are attached to the lower
control arm, with the upper end of the shock attached to the suspension
support. The springs are held in position between the lower control arms
and a pocket in t h e suspension support.
The suspension system also incorporates a new damping system now as
Road Sensing Suspension on the ETC or (Sport Coupe)
