GEM Service Manual

REAR SUSPENSION
DESCRIPTION
The rear suspension is comprised of a frame that
includes the rear axle, and spring/shock absorbers.
Fig. 6 Rear Suspension System
1 - Rear suspension frame/axle
2 - Spring/Shock absorber
OPERATION
The rear suspension frame pivots up and down on
bolts where it is mounted to the rear of the frame.
Rear drum brakes and wheels are mounted on
flanges at each end of the rear axle. Spring/shock
absorber units control the movement, thereby
maintaining contact of the tires on the road
.
CAUTION: Suspension components with
rubber/urethane bushings should be tightened
with the vehicle at normal ride height. It is
important to have the springs supporting the
weight of the vehicle when the fasteners are
torqued. This will maintain vehicle ride comfort
and prevent premature bushing wear.
