Running Gear
The 4-wheel-drive version of the Passat has a
double wishbone rear suspension with a closed
tubular subframe attached to which are the track
control arms for wheel location and the
differential.
Insulating bonded rubber bushes provide good
acoustic isolation from the vehicle body.
The flat-type construction of the rear axle
provides a spacious interior.
This type of construction proved successful
in the predecessor model.
