The rear suspension consists of the following components:
The rear suspension system is a solid axle type. The solid drive axle is supported by coil springs and uses shock absorbers to help dampen out the vertical movement of the vehicle. A lateral stiffener bar is used to strengthen the body with the panhard rod providing lateral stability for the axle. The upper arm and the lower arm provide longitudinal stability for the axle. The stabilizer bar and links are included to control lean/sway during turns.
