Ford Ecosport: Rear Suspension - AWD / Description and Operation - Rear Suspension - Overview
Overview
The rear suspension consists of the following components:
- Coil springs
- Upper and lower arms
- Shock absorbers
- Stabilizer bar and links
- Wheel bearing and wheel hub assemblies
- Wheel knuckles
- Wheel studs
- Differential carrier and trailing arm bushes
The rear suspension uses 2 parallel arms (1 upper and 1 lower). Each arm has a mounting position to the differential carrier and an attachment at the wheel knuckle. This suspension allows the wheels to react to road imperfections independent of each other. The shock absorber mounts to the lower arm and along with the spring, controls vertical movement. The stabilizer bar and links control suspension lean/sway.
