Rear suspension — design description (Mazda 121 (3))

The rear axle with a transverse beam consists of a V-shaped connecting beam, to which longitudinal levers are welded on both sides. The beam (profile) works as a stabilizer and prevents the body from tilting during turns, as well as lifting the rear wheel, the inner one in relation to the turn. The rear axle suspension is made on shock absorber struts, which are reinforced with bolts at the bottom on the longitudinal levers and at the top on the body. Through the rubber supports of the front parts of the longitudinal suspension levers, the rear axle body is connected with bolts to the body.

Precautions: welding and straightening work on the load-bearing and guide parts of the rear wheel suspension is not allowed. When repairing, the self-locking nuts must always be replaced.
