Rear Suspension System

The rear suspension consists of the following components:

- Axle jounce bumpers
- Leaf springs
- Shock absorbers
- Stabilizer bar
- Stabilizer bar links
- Wheel studs

The rear suspension system utilizes a solid driving axle supported by shock absorbers and semi-elliptic, leaf-type rear springs. The rear suspension may also incorporate a stabilizer bar to enhance vehicle stability. Rear vehicle height can be adjusted through the use of shims placed between the axle and the leaf springs.
