6.1.11 Rear semi-independent suspension
Note
Almost all the layouts described above can be used in the rear suspension design.
This is one of the simplest, cheapest and most reliable rear suspension solutions. But is still has many disadvantages. The essence of the design is that two trailing arms, on which the springs and shock absorbers are supported, are connected by a beam, as shown in Figure 6.8. The suspension partly turned out to be dependent, because the wheels are interconnected. However, due to the properties of the beam, the wheels have the ability to move relative to each other.
