116Chapter 6 Rear Suspension SystemSection 1 Rear Suspension SystemRear suspension structure descriptionThis model uses strut independent rear suspension with stabilizer bar.
Rear suspension consists of the parallel front and rear double transverse arms, trailing rod, rear stabilizer bar
and rear strut assembly. The shock absorber and cone coil spring are arranged eccentrically.
See the table below for the major technical parameters of the rear suspensionProblem Symptoms TableUse the table below to help you find the cause of the problem. The numbers indicate the priority of the likely
cause of the problem. Check each part in order. If necessary, replace these parts.Items Parameter Items Parameter

126Chapter 7 WheelSection 1 Tire InspectionInspection1. Check the tires for appearance and proper inflation pressure.
Check for inflation pressure after the vehicle stops for over 15min.
2. Using a dial gauge, check the runout of tire.
The tire runout should be no more than 3.0mm
Notice
(1) You must use specified tire and special wheel rim provided by the authorized service
center, otherwise it may affect the normal safe running of the vehicle and even result in
accidents!
(2) If the wheel rim is damaged, you must go to the authorized service center for service and
replacement! Never use the wheel rim of any other model!
3. Changing tire position
It is recommended to change the tire for each 10000km driving. See the figure for where to change each
tire
4. Inspect wheel dynamic balance
The imbalance should be no more than 8.0g. Otherwise, there will be extra vibration and noise when
driving.Tire module Tire inflationpressure
