REAR SUSPENSION
The rear suspension is Twist/Torsion beam.
Suspension also called as Torsion beam/ ‘H’-
type suspension. The front of the ‘H‘ attaches
to the body via rubber bushings, and the rear
of the ‘H’ carries each wheel, on each side of
the car. The cross beam of the ‘H’ holds the
two trailing arms together, and provides
additional roll stiffness due to twisting of the
cross beam; this twisting is caused as the two
trailing arms move vertically, relative to each
other.
The Twist beam suspension in the vehicle
has
greatly enhanced the ride comfort as well as
the vehicle handling as compared to it’s the
earlier models.
The coil springs rests on a pad/spring seat
alongside the wheels. The springs and the spring
seat bear paint marking for correct positioning of
the spring on the spring seat.
