This vehicle uses an independent short/long arm rear suspension. All rear suspension components are mounted on a suspension support. The suspension support attaches the vehicle body at four points. Bushings and insulators fully isolate the suspension support in order to minimize noise transmission into the passenger compartment.

Each rear wheel is connected to the suspension support through the suspension knuckle using an upper and lower control arm configuration.

The inboard side of the control arms attach to the suspension support. The outboard end attaches to the suspension knuckle. The hub and bearing assembly which attaches to the knuckle is a single, non-serviceable unit; eliminating the need for wheel bearing adjustment. The springs are positioned between the lower control arm and a pocket in the suspension support. The shock absorbers are attached to the lower control arm. The upper end of the shock attaches to the suspension support. A ride control system automatically modifies the damping rate of the shock absorbers based on driving conditions. Standard equipment includes Electronic Level Control in order to maintain the vehicle's rear trim height under a wide range of vehicle loading conditions.

Several rear suspension fasteners have bolt head anti-rotation devices for ease of assembly during the production process. It is not necessary to reinstall these anti-rotation devices during service if the devices become separated from the fastener.
