The rear suspension utilizes coil springs over struts, and lightweight aluminum knuckles. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 . Each wheel is mounted to a tri-link independent suspension system. The 3 links are identified as the trailing arm and the spindle rods. The stabilizer bar attaches to suspension support assembly by 2 rubber bushings and mounting brackets. The non-serviceable hub and bearing assembly is bolted to the knuckle. The hub and bearing assembly is a sealed, maintenance-free unit.
