The
rear suspension uses 2 parallel arms (1 upper and 1 lower). Each arm
has a mounting position to the chassis and an attachment at the wheel

imperfections independent of each other. The shock absorber mounts to
the whel knuckle and along with the spring, controls vertical movement.
The stabilizer bar and links control suspension lean/sway.
