REAR SUSPENSION

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

AXLE LOCATION

Longitudinal location of the rear axle is by 2 long, rubber trailing links which allow maximum vertical movement of
the wheels. Lateral movement of the axle is prevented by a centrally mounted ’A’ frame. This frame assembly
consists of ’I’ section steel secured at the apex by a ball joint which is mounted on top of the axle to the left of the
differential housing. The open end of the ’A’ frame is bolted to the underside of the chassis cross-member. This
permits vertical movement of the axle while articulation takes place around the ball joint, with the resultant
controlled ride over rough terrain.

Rear axle suspension

1. "A" frame upper link assembly - transverse location
2. Trailing links - longitudinal location
3. Coil springs
4. Shock absorbers
5. Self levelling unit

Long travel coil springs and hydraulic shock absorbers, provide the springing for each wheel. On the rear only, a
self levelling unit is mounted in conjunction with the "A" frame to provide automatic self levelling of the vehicle,
when heavily loaded or towing a trailer.
