Fig. 4.30. Rear suspension: 1 – rear crossmember support bushing; 2 – rear cross member; 3 – rear shock absorber; 4 – rear upper arm; 5 – compression stroke buffer (from the body side); 6 – rear trailing arm; 7 – rear transverse rod; 8 – rear stabilizer; 9 – rear view of the car; 10 – rear coil spring; 11 – compression stroke buffer (from the spring side); 12 – rear lower arm
The arrangement of the arms and rods of the multi-link rear suspension type E is similar to the arrangement of the arms and rods of a conventional multi-link rear suspension (see fig. 4.30 on p. 182), except for the location of the shock absorber and coil spring.
The coil spring and shock absorber are separated, the coil spring is mounted between the rear cross member and the rear lower arm.
Separate arrangement of the shock absorber and coil spring eliminates friction between the two elements.
In addition, the lateral force of the shock absorber is reduced, resulting in smooth suspension operation and improved ride comfort.
