Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Description and Operation
Rear
DESCRIPTION - STRUT ASSEMBLY (REAR)
There are two different design struts available on this vehicle. A standard strut and an adjustable strut which is used on vehicles equipped with the
ACR performance package. Both struts share common style components except that the ACR strut has no external jounce bumper. It is internal.
The rear strut assemblies support the weight of the vehicle using coil springs positioned around struts. The coil springs are contained between the
upper mount of the strut assembly and a lower spring seat on the body of the strut.
The top of each strut assembly is bolted to the top of the inner fender through a rubber isolated mount. The bottom of the strut assembly attaches to the
rear knuckle using 2 thru-bolts with prevailing torque nuts.
