	The Rear Suspension
		VW rear suspensions sometimes sag as the car ages, especially if it has carried a few large loads.
		The spring plate is 'twisted' as the suspension moves through an arc (swing axle models), so you'll see it 'untwist' as you undo these bolts.
		You should then be able to manouver the whole axle towards the rear of the car, free of the spring plate, without loosening any of the brake lines etc. You might need to tie it back clear of the spring plate.

	Rear Suspension
		The rear suspension of the 63 to 82 Corvette was revolutionary for its time.
		Independent rear suspension and a limited slip differential all wraped in a fiberglass shell.
		Rear trailing arm service includes full disassembly of the arm, reconditioning or replacement of the components (caliper mounting bracket, bearing housing, brake backing plate and spindle), if the arm is in need of repair that is done at this time.

	Late Model Mustang Suspension Basics
		This suspension is compact, cheap to build and easy to service, but it is often criticized because (a) its geometry produces camber changes during vertical suspension movement and body roll that adversely affect handling and (b) the strut towers prevent designers from lowering the car's profile.
		The performance of the front suspension can be improved by installing stiffer springs and struts and by replacing rubber bushings in several locations with less compliant urethane bushings.
		Another approach is to install stiff springs and struts that limit the suspension's travel to a very narrow range in which camber change is insignificant.

	gmcmotorhome.com - Rear Suspension Rebuild
		The rear suspension swing arms or "bogies" mount to a box which attaches to the frame rail.
		In addition, the suspension alignment should be checked after the bogies are reinstalled as it is unlikely that the geometry between the old and new pins and bushings will be identical.
		Arch believes that this may have contributed to the wear of his suspension as end play could not be adjusted out.

	Paralever rear suspension
		This is a "Four-bar" linkage, similar to double-wishbone suspension in cars which keeps the rear drive at a contant angle as the suspension moves.
		This torque-induced suspension movement, sometimes called "the shaft effect" or "shaft jacking" is considered to be a drawback to traditional shaft-drive designs.
		The suspension travel exists to absorb irregularities in the surface; it should normally stay in the intended region of that travel so as to be ready to absorb whatever bumps or dips the designer anticipated.

	Rear suspension - Mustang Forums at StangNet
		Also, Maier have these springs that are layered toward the front to stiffen them like having caltracs, but it makes it look flimsy as suspension, as the rear half of the spring is longer, and has less leafs on it.
		You want the panhard to be as long as possible, because the you will notice the arc that the panhard forces the rear end to travel when the rear suspension moves up and down.
		The reason these cars came from the factory without a rear sway bar, is it is generally believed an understeering car is safer for the general driving public.

	Rear Suspension:
		This is when the rear suspension is beating the chassis as it is taking up the clearance due to the worn bushing.
		During a rebound test, the suspension is cycled by placing the knee or hands on the front or rear bumper of the vehicle, bouncing the suspension and then observing the recovery rate.
		Lower the rear axle to relieve the stress on the bolt since the gas in the shock is keeping pressure on it.

	Eur Rear Suspension
		The free lengths of the Spyder chrome vanadium rear springs may differ from the original; especially on the series 2 model.
		This measurement refers to the dimension between the centres of the upper and lower damper mounting bolts, and must be taken with the vehicle standing on level ground, with no occupants, fuel tank half full, front and rear boot spaces empty and the spare wheel in place.
		Possible damage to rear tyres, wheel bearing overloading and deterioration of the universal joints will also be reduced.

	Rear Suspension
		Some manufacturers still use a rigid rear axle, either in association with semi-elliptical leaf springs or mounted with coil springs and longitudinal rods, plus a "Panhard bar" for lateral guidance.
		Some front wheel drive systems which retain the rigid rear axle use a simple tube with two semi-elliptical leaf springs, or an axle supported on coil springs and guide rods.
		In this elegant system, the driving wheels are mounted on properly guided rigid triangles, while the "suspended" differential is fixed to the chassis.

	Rear Suspension Info
		With this info I hope to provide a little more insight into Toyota truck and 4Runner rear leaf suspensions and some of the ideas I have found work well for me. Please note that most of the qualities I strive for are for rock-crawling purposes, while still maintaining good on-road manners.
		I chose to use a two-link traction bar at the rear axle.
		When looking for increased travel on the rear suspension, it may be necessary to modify or relocate the shock mounts.

	Frontline Spridget - rear suspension
		This rear damper conversion unlike any other one has the damper mounted in a near vertical position.
		The additional locating brackets keep the rear axle from moving backwards and forwards, which means the axle only moves up and down as it should.
		A series of plates and gears inside the unit sense when one wheel is strating to spin and transfers more power to the other wheel, which gives you maximum traction and controllability all the time.

	F-100 Rear Suspension
		Since the frontend had received a dropped axle, new leaves, and disc brakes, the next order of business was to follow suit in the rear.
		This particular one came from a '57-60 Effie, which was when the 9-inch was introduced in place of the aging Dana.
		Jim wanted his wheels to be the same bolt pattern front and rear, so we needed to red rill the stock 5-on-51/2 axles to match the 5-on-5 bolt pattern from the upgraded disc brakes already up front.

	EM Rear Suspension Ideas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Since the Devin C uses primarily standard EM rear suspension, but with slightly shorter axles, it may work for the EM car rear suspension, but is currently unproven.
		These two changes do wonders for reduction of rear wheel jacking, at least for the Devin C. For the EM Corvairs, the wheel jacking problem is less severe, surprisingly over the Devin C, because the axles are longer for the EM Corvair car, and even longer for the FC.
		A cross bar mounted to the U-bolt was drilled in the middle to accept the upper end of the secondary extension spring.

		The Equipe kit lifts the vehicle, which I didn't want, also the rear shocks would require cutting into the rear wheel-boxes, which again I didn't want to do.
		This is obviously not good, and I'll be looking for springs with a longer free length, but it does demonstrate the extra travel available at the rear axle.
		Currently its the trailing arm bushes limiting the travel, but we have a plan for those too......as there is plenty more travel available in the shock.

		This top rear shaft (rear tunnel mounting point that control rods connect to) is made of 7075 Billet aluminum which is stronger than steel.
		Sure Control Rods are many times stronger than the stock rods (which have been known to bend or break) because of their cr-moly construction, and because they have less moving parts they are lighter (and do not freeze like other inferior designs of adjustable control rods).

	Caddy Rear Suspension
		I slid the Toyota leaf in between the 2nd and 3rd VW leaves (I applied a good helping of axle grease to the leaves while they were apart), spring clamp forward (spread open to fit the slightly wider VW springs) and installed a new, longer spring center bolt.
		An advantage of the stiffer rear springs is that the lack of a rear sway bar is minimized.
		I found the rear end settled about 1.5" under the load (approx 400#/in per spring) and I still had about 2" of clearance at the bumpstop.
