Description of the design of the rear suspension

The rear suspension of the car is semi-independent, made on an elastic beam with trailing arms, coil springs and double-acting shock absorbers.

The rear suspension beam consists of two trailing arms connected by a u-shaped cross member. This section provides the crossbar with greater bending rigidity and less torsional stiffness, allowing the levers to move relative to each other within a small range and act as an anti-roll bar.

The levers are made of a profile of variable section, which gives them the necessary rigidity. At the front, the beam levers are bolted to the removable brackets of the body side members. The mobility of the levers is provided by rubber-metal hinges (silent blocks), pressed into the eyelets of the levers.



Brackets for mounting shock absorbers and lower spring cups are welded to the rear of the levers. The springs are made separately from the shock absorbers and are attached to the body side member by the upper support cups. A protective cover and an upper support are installed on the shock absorber rod. Through the upper support, the shock absorber is attached to the car body. The protective cover prevents dust and dirt from getting on the shock absorber rod.

Also, at the rear of the levers, vertical flanges are installed, to which the rear wheel hubs and brake shields with pads are bolted.

The rear wheel hub assembly with the trunnion and bearing is a non-separable unit.
