Pic. 16.1. Rear suspension: A - cars with SOHC engines; B - cars with DOHC engines
Rear suspension - multi-link with two trailing arms (pic. 16.1). Rear strut shock absorber assembly - hydraulic, double-acting.
Pic. 16.2. Rear wheel hub: 1 - gear rotor (for vehicles with ABS); 2 - double row angular contact ball bearing; 3 – longitudinal suspension arm; 4 - lock nut
A double-row angular contact ball bearing is installed in the rear wheel hub, in which the inner surface of the central hole of the hub is used as the outer race, which leads to a decrease in the dimensions and weight of the bearing (pic. 16.2). The design of the bearing provides significant serviceability as preload is achieved simply by tightening the hub nut to the specified torque. On vehicles with ABS, the wheel speed sensor rotor is mounted on the rear hub.
