The Torsion Beam Rear Suspension

Advantages of torsion beam rear suspension:
- Larger through-loading width due to the fact
that the coil springs and shock absorbers are
kept physically apart
- Use of single-tube dampers
- Downward-facing V-section of axle beam
- Self-aligning twin-grooved oblique ball
bearings act as wheel bearings
