Rear Suspension (04.02)

Description

Suspension Arms

The upper suspension arms are each installed with a press-
fit ball joint, and two interleaved rubber bushes. Two bolts
attach each upper suspension arm to the rear subframe.
The lower suspension arms each have press fit ball joints
installed and metal-to-rubber bonded bushes which are
attach to the rear subframe by two eccentric cam bolts.
The camber setting is adjusted by rotating the lower
suspension arm rear eccentric cam bolt.

Anti-roll Bar

An anti-roll bar, mounted on the rear subframe connects to
the LH and RH lower suspension arms via drop links. The
drop links, with a ball joint at either end, transmit vertical
movement of the rear suspension to the anti-roll bar,
minimising body roll.

Vertical Link

The vertical link carries the hub, the cartridge wheel bearing,
the ABS rotor, the wheel speed sensor, the brake caliper, the
hand brake caliper and the brake disc and shield.
A toe control (track-rod) arm secures the rear of the vertical
link to the subframe. The toe control arm is adjustable, on
an eccentric cam, to alter the rear road wheel toe alignment.
