Core Functions

• Wheel Alignment Maintenance: Precisely positions the rear wheels (controlling camber, toe, and caster angles) to meet Volvo’s factory specifications. Proper alignment prevents uneven tire wear (e.g., inner/outer edge wear) and ensures the vehicle tracks straight at high speeds.
• Load & Vibration Absorption: The integrated bushings absorb road vibrations and small impacts (e.g., potholes, gravel roads), reducing noise and harshness transmitted to the cabin. This enhances ride comfort while protecting other suspension components (e.g., shocks, springs) from excessive stress.
• Handling Stability: Transfers lateral and longitudinal forces (e.g., during cornering, braking, or acceleration) from the wheel to the subframe. Its rigid steel construction prevents flexing, ensuring the rear wheels maintain optimal contact with the road—critical for stable handling and short braking distances.
• Suspension Geometry Control: Limits rear wheel movement to the designed range (e.g., preventing over-steer during hard cornering) by working in tandem with other suspension parts (e.g., sway bars, upper control arms). This preserves the vehicle’s factory-tuned suspension balance, avoiding unpredictable handling.
