Rear suspension



Design and specifications

Independent rear suspension with helical coil springs, trailing arm, telescopic shock absorbers and stabilizer bar.

Coil springs and the upper bearing cup

Depending on the model and equipment installed on the vehicles of two types of springs in combination with the upper supporting three types of cups of different thicknesses.

Selection of spring to the supporting cup is produced at the factory and must be maintained throughout the lifetime of avoiding deterioration of the stability and controllability of the car. When replacing the spring or bearing cups sure to install parts that are identical to the former.
