#69 Rear axle

This drawing shows how the
hollow tube or axle tube (11) in

which the drive shaft slides is

attached to the spring plate (3),
which in turn is attached to the

torsion bar (2). It is the torsion bar

that allows the rear axle to move

up and down.

With this type of rear axle, the

spring plate consists of one piece
and is attached to the bearing

flange (11). The spring plate can

be moved relative to the bearing
flange to adjust the camber an-

gle of the rear wheels. We will dis-

cuss wheel geometry in the next
issues of this technical series.

In the following pages we will

show a detail of the bearing 1 chassis
flange and how the drive shaft is

supported in this bearing flange. 2 torsion bar left

In a future issue, we will show 3 spring plate
how the rear wheel bearing is

replaced. 5 shock absorber
