Lincoln Aviator: Rear Suspension / Description and Operation - Rear Suspension - Overview
Overview
The rear suspension consists of the following components:
-
Coil springs
-
Lower arm and bushing assemblies
-
Stabilizer bar and links
-
Toe links
-
Upper arms
-
Lower arm vertical links
-
Wheel bearing and wheel hub assemblies
-
Wheel knuckles
-
Wheel studs
-
Suspension height sensor
-
Dynamically controlled shock absorbers
Refer to: Vehicle Dynamic Suspension - Vehicles With: Air Suspension - Component Location (204-05 Vehicle Dynamic Suspension, Description and Operation).
The
rear suspension uses 2 parallel arms (1 upper and 1 lower). Each arm
has a mounting position to the chassis and an attachment at the wheel
knuckle. This suspension allows the wheels to react to road
imperfections independent of each other. The shock absorber mounts to
the lower arm and along with the spring, controls vertical movement. The
stabilizer bar and links control suspension lean/sway.
The
semi-active suspension dampening provides improved handling, comfort
and stability by continuously adjusting the adaptive shock absorber
force to the current road and driving conditions.
