Suspension Arms

The upper suspension arms are each installed with a press-fit ball joint, and two interleaved rubber bushes. Two bolts attach each upper suspension arm to the rear subframe.

The lower suspension arms each have press fit ball joints installed and metal-to-rubber bonded bushes which are attach to the rear subframe by two eccentric cam bolts.

The camber setting is adjusted by rotating the lower suspension arm rear eccentric cam bolt.

Vertical Link

The vertical link carries the hub, the cartridge wheel bearing, the ABS rotor, the wheel speed sensor, the brake caliper, the hand brake caliper and the brake disc and shield.

A toe control (track-rod) arm secures the rear of the vertical link to the subframe. The toe control arm is adjustable, on an eccentric cam, to alter the rear road wheel toe alignment.

Anti-roll Bar

An anti-roll bar, mounted on the rear subframe connects to the LH and RH lower suspension arms via drop links. The drop links, with a ball joint at either end, transmit vertical movement of the rear suspension to the anti-roll bar, minimising body roll.
