Your vehicle uses an independent shortflong 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
to 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 the suspension support.
