Rear - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION Low-mount multilink independent suspension offers handling stability and riding
comfort comparable to passenger cars. Crossmembers with an elastic structure are
used to reduce road noise, making the vehicle quieter.
The arrangement of the arms, coil springs, and shock absorbers is designed to
provide a wide luggage space.
The differential case is mounted on the crossmember in AWD models to reduce the
weight under the springs and improve the suspension tracking of the road surface. CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM Fig. 1: Rear Suspension Construction Diagram (FWD)
