Honda Civic 11 Generation Rear Suspension Parts Location Index.
How These Suspension Components Work Together (Layout Overview)
- The upper and lower control arms form the main vertical support for the rear wheel hub; they allow vertical travel (up/down) while keeping the wheel aligned.
- The coil spring supports the car’s weight; the shock absorber (damper) dampens spring oscillations — together they handle vertical motion from road bumps.
- Trailing arms or rear lateral links keep the wheel’s fore-aft (longitudinal) position stable under acceleration/braking.
- The stabilizer (sway) bar connects left and right suspension to reduce body roll during cornering.
- All arms, spring seats, shock mounts, stabilizer mounts are attached to the rear subframe/crossmember, which ensures structural rigidity and correct suspension geometry.
- The hub & bearing assembly is the pivot point for the wheel, connecting suspension to the wheel/tire.
