REAR SUSPENSION <2WD> - Three-link Suspension

THREE-LINK SUSPENSION

For this suspension, an U-form axle beam with
built-in torsional bar that combines the features of

body tilts to one side during turns, there is little
change of the tires-to-road surface contact area,

thus preventing side-slip and maintaining excellent
handling stability. Moreover, the trailing arm func-
tions to counteract twisting Of the axle beam and
torsional bar during separate UP and down move-
ments of the two wheels, thereby suppressing body
tilting to the side and maintaining excellent driving
stability and comfort.
