I. Rear suspension structure description This 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 suspensionII. Symptom Table Use 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.Suspected Area
