THE ROAD WILL NEVER FEEL THE SAME
16 _ ride and handling
The body-frame integral
construction that makes getting
in and out of acadia easy also
sets the stage for impressive
road manners. it forms a rigid
foundation that contributes to
a smooth ride and permits
traction-enhancing front-wheel
drive. acadia's linked h-arm
rear suspension system is state
of the art, featuring twin tube
shock absorbers, coil springs
and forged-steel toe, camber
and pendulum links. it mounts
on an isolated cross-member
subframe, which helps reduce
cabin noise. The lower h-arms
and knuckles are made from
aluminum, reducing unsprung
weight. Cross- axis ball joints
enhance handling in evasive
maneuvers. Together StabiliTrak,
traction control, hydraulic
rack-and-pinion steering and
advanced suspension all help
acadia offer uncanny agility.
