Abstract

A rear suspension system for an automobile with a steel frame and plastic body includes a suspension arm (40) coupled to a rear wheel (38). An arm shaft (58) extends transversely inwardly from the arm (40) and is embedded in a rubber cartridge (68) press-fit into the frame, to thereby attenuate motion of the suspension arm (40). A horizontally-mounted longitudinally-oriented shock absorber (80) further interconnects the suspension arm (40) and the frame. This shock absorber orientation avoids transferring suspension system loads to the plastic body.
