Rear Suspension - Evolution: General Description: Notes

A trailing arm type multi-link suspension is used for the rear suspension. In contrast to the trailing arm multi-link system used on the Lancer, the Lancer Evolution uses a newly developed multi-link system built on a double wishbone base to achieve superior handling stability. Optimum design of the suspension points and use of aluminum parts for the suspension arms and crossmember reduces weight. In addition use of ball joints on the suspension arms reduce friction and creates a suspension system that exhibits superior stroke characteristics that respond well under all driving conditions.
