Rear Suspension: Description
All models use a live axle with coil spring rear suspension. Upper and lower control arms, running forward from axle, are used on all except 544 models. 544 models use one set of non-parallel control arms. All models also use a track bar, connected at one end to axle and to frame, at opposite side of vehicle, at other end. Coil springs mount between axle assembly and frame. Hydraulic shock absorbers are used which attach to frame at top end and to lower control arm at bottom on all models except 122S and P 1800 models. On 122S and P 1800 models, shock absorbers mount to upper control arms.
