The rubber-metal bearings used on the rear axle have limitations in terms of torque stress. For this reason, during installation work, the bolted connections on the independent wheel suspension arms can only be tightened after the vehicle has been lowered to the ground.
Rear axle: Independent wheel suspension with increased lateral stability is provided by a trapezoidal lever design with an axle bracket on elastic supports
Rear axle of all-wheel drive models: with a trapezoidal lever design, the designers had to provide for the placement of the differential and drive shafts
Groups of structural elements of the rear axle:
I: Rear axle bracket for front-wheel drive model with plastic inserts, washers and bolts,
II: Rear axle bracket for 4WD model with rear cross member, front gearbox support and small parts,
III: trapezoidal lever design of independent suspension with transverse lever, connecting rod and coil spring,
IV: Wheel bearing support for front-wheel drive model with bearing unit and shock absorber,
V: Wheel bearing housing for 4WD model,
VI: stabilizer with connecting rod and small parts.
