Rear Suspension




Rear Suspension

The front suspension consists of the following components:

- Shock absorbers
- Springs
- Stabilizer bar and links
- Wheel studs

The rear suspension system utilizes a solid driving axle supported by shock absorbers and semi-elliptic, leaf-type rear springs. A side-to-side lean at the rear of the vehicle can be adjusted approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) by installing a shim between the rear spring and the rear axle on the low side of the vehicle. A "low at the rear" vehicle can be raised approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) by installing a shim on each side of the vehicle.
