Rear axle
The well proven semi-trailing arm rear axle with
independent suspension from the previous model
was further developed in detail and refined.
Technical features are:
– Cast semi-trailing arms house wheel bearings.
Wheel bearings are same as those used in
front axle.
– Coil springs in barrel spring design, with
linear or progressive response depending on
model.
– Active wheel speed sensors, sensor integrated
in wheel bearing seal (same part as used on
front axle).
At a later date, a four-wheel drive
version (4motion) with Haldex cou-
pling (Haldex II) will be introduced.
