Rear suspension (Description): Description and operation (page 2 of 2)

The adjustable transverse link allows for the toe-in of the wheel to be adjusted if necessary. The fixed transverse link is slightly shorter than the adjustable link which promotes a small amount of toe-in during cornering. This also minimizes the effects of bump steer. The bush attaching the fixed transverse link to the rear subframe has a very soft initial movement rate which becomes progressively harder as the rate of deflection increases. The three remaining bushes in the fixed transverse and the adjustable transvserse links are of hard construction which give precise handling and minimizes transient steer effects. The soft bush allows for small amounts of toe-in during cornering.
