Double wishbone rear axle
The newly developed double wishbone rear
axle allows the same through-loading width as
the torsion beam rear axle. It has an enclosed
subframe to which the transverse links are
attached.
The subframe is connected to the body by four
large bonded rubber mountings.
Single-tube gas-filled shock absorbers are
used on the double wishbone rear axle. Their
diameter is smaller than that of twin-tube
shock absorbers.
The low-lying position of the upper wishbone
and the smaller shock absorber diameter
permit a lower loading platform and a
larger through-loading width.
