Rear Suspension: Description

Rear suspension is 5 link type of rigid axle which consists of coil springs, rear axle, shock absorbers, upper rods, lower rods and lateral rod. See Fig 1 . The lower rod and upper rod are connected with the axle and body by using bushes so that axle moves up and down with bushes as their supporting points. The shock absorber is installed between the body and axle to absorb up-and-down movement of the vehicle body.
