A trailing arm type multi-link suspension is used. The
main features are listed as follows:
- The wheel tread is enlarged to improve cornering
ability.
- The roll center height is reviewed with regard to
the vehicle specifications to improve the steering
ability.
- A double crossmember is utilized and the upper
arm, lower arm, toe control arm are jointed to the
crossmember to improve the suspension alignment
accuracy and maintenance performance.
- Improvement of arms installation accuracy eliminates
the camber adjustment to improve maintenance
performance.

upper position to improve the movement of the
suspension when the vehicle negotiates bumps
and increase the riding comfort.
- The control link is installed in the lower position to
