Semi-independent suspension Astra-G, Astra-H, Zafira-A, Zafira-B - rear axle

The rear suspension on these models is designed as a torsion beam axle. The torsion profile is welded to the two trailing arms. Depending on model variant, different profile thicknesses are used and the torsion profile is welded to the control arms at different angles. This allows adaptation to the vehicle weight and design (e.g. sports suspension).
