ABSTRACT:
An automobile includes a plastic body and a steel frame bonded to the plastic body. The rear suspension system of the automobile includes a suspension arm coupled to a rear wheel. An arm shaft extends transversely inwardly from the arm and is embedded in a rubber cartridge press-fit into the frame, to thereby attenuate motion of the suspension arm. A horizontally-mounted longitudinally-oriented shock absorber further interconnects the suspension arm and frame. This shock absorber orientation avoids transferring suspension system loads to the plastic body.
