6. REAR SUSPENSION COMPONENT LAYOUT

Multi-link type suspension is the independent suspension. It provides good ride comfort and drivability 
by reducing the coil spring weight. Also, it increases the space for passenger compartment by lowering 
the floor.
This type of suspension consists of multiple links such as trailing arm, upper arm, lower arm and track 
rod.

Shock absorber assembly

This vehicle uses the gas 
shock absorber. This 
relieves the vertical 
vibrations of vehicle to 
provide ride comforts, 
prevents the spring break, 
enhances drivability, and 
extends the life span of 
steering components.

Upper arm assembly

Upper arm is installed between knuckle and sub 
frame and controls the lateral load and vehicle 
height.

Trailing arm assembly

Trailing arm is installed between knuckle and 
vehicle body and controls the front and rear load.

Track rod assembly

Track rod is installed between knuckle and rear 
sub frame and controls and compensates the 
lateral load.

Stabilizer bar assembly

The stabilizer bar assembly is not activated if the 
left/right wheels move up/down simultaneously, but if 
both wheels move up/down differently it is activated 
with frame to minimize the tilting of the body.

Coil spring

Coil spring is installed between 

the coil spring link and body 

frame. It relieves the vibrations 

and impacts from wheels to 

vehicle body.

Lower arm assembly

The lower arm is installed between knuckle and rear 
sub frame and relieves the load to coil spring from 
wheel. In other word, it controls the longitudinal load.

sensor for 2WD vehicle has different sensor 
appearance and mounting status because the 
knuckle shape is different from the 4WD vehicle.
