Ford Ecosport: Rear Suspension - AWD / Description and Operation - Rear Suspension - Overview
Overview
The rear suspension consists of the following components:
-
Coil springs
-
Upper and lower arms
-
Shock absorbers
-
Stabilizer bar and links
-
Wheel bearing and wheel hub assemblies
-
Wheel knuckles
-
Wheel studs
-
Differential carrier and trailing arm bushes
The
rear suspension uses 2 parallel arms (1 upper and 1 lower). Each arm
has a mounting position to the differential carrier and an attachment at
the wheel knuckle. This suspension allows the wheels to react to road
imperfections independent of each other. The shock absorber mounts to
the lower arm and along with the spring, controls vertical movement. The
stabilizer bar and links control suspension lean/sway.
