Operation - Strut Assembly (Rear)

The rear strut assemblies support the weight of the vehicle. They cushion the ride of the vehicle, controlling vibration, jounce and rebound of the suspension.

The coil spring controls ride quality and maintains ride height.

The jounce bumper limits suspension travel and metal-to-metal contact under full jounce.

The strut dampens jounce and rebound motions of the coil spring and suspension.
