The rear suspension consists of an axle with trailing arms and a twisting cross beam, 2 coil springs, 2 shock absorbers, 2 upper spring insulators, and 2 spring compression bumpers. The axle support assembly attaches to the underbody through a rubber bushing located at the front of each of the control arms. The brackets are integral with the underbody side rails. The axle structure maintains the relationships of the wheels to the body. A serviceable stabilizer shaft, incorporated with the axle beam, attaches to each of the control arms.

Each coil spring is retained between a seat in the underbody and a seat welded to the top of the rear axle control arm. The coil spring lower end rests on a compression bumper in the welded bracket on top of the rear axle, while a rubber insulator is used to isolate the coil spring upper end from the vehicle underbody seat.
