housing and rear cover. The 1165 final drive
always has an automatic differential lock.
This version of the 850 has multi-link rear
suspension. It is the same type as on the 1995
model year 960 but has coil rather than leaf
springs.
The rear suspension consists of a rear axle
member made up of an upper and lower
section. These are joined to each other with
screwed joints. The upper and lower sections
of the rear axle member are in cast aluminum.
The final drive is mounted between the
members. The member is mounted on the
side-members of the car body.

suspension AWD, 850 1997-.
The 850 AWD has a saddle fuel tank with an
outer expansion tank. The fuel tank consists of
two halves, one on each side of the propeller
shaft. Fuel tank capacity is 70 liters.
The fuel tank and expansion tank are mounted
on the rear axle member. The member is
designed as a crash barrier. In the event of a
collision it absorbs energy and protects the
fuel tank.
The introduction of the AWD has meant the
development of a new exhaust system and
modifications to the engine mounting, sub-
frame, brake pipe, rear brakes, parking brake
cables, electrical system and bodywork.
