Each rear wheel, hub and brake

drum assembly is bolted to the rear

axle shaft flange. The wheel and axle

shaft assembly rotates in the rear axle

housing. Two spring pads, integral

with the axle housing, rest on two leaf

spring assemblies. The axle housing is

fastened to the center of the springs

by spring clips (U-bolts), retainers,

and nuts (Figs. 5 and 6). Each spring

assembly is suspended from the under-

body side rail by hanger and shackle

assemblies at the front and rear. The

integral mounting stud at the upper

end of each shock absorber is attached

to the crossmember by a mounting

plate. The lower end is mounted to a

stud which is integral with a bracket

welded to the axle housing.
