Rear suspension
The rear suspension is independent, on three-arm oblique levers pivotally connected to the rear axle beam, coil springs and double-acting telescopic shock absorbers located inside the suspension springs (combi body cars) or rear-mounted arms behind suspension springs (berlin body cars).
Depending on suspension version (standard, reinforced or Nivomat) shock absorbers are different. In addition, in some versions of the rear suspension (like berlin) there is a stabilizer bar.
