Rear Suspension - Overview

Overview

Characteristics of rear axle:

Function

If compression takes place on both wheels evenly (for example when a load is placed on the vehicle), the whole axle unit swivels evenly in the rubber-metal bearings.

If only one wheel is compressed, the cross-beam twists (undergoes torsion) and acts as a stabilizer.

This minimizes track and toe changes.
