REAR

SUSPENSION

DESCRIPTION

Rear

suspension
consists
of
semi
elliptic

leaf

springs

telescopic
hydraulic
shock
absorbers
and
rubber

bumpers

The
rear

spring
center

pin
is

off
set
110
mm
4
33
in

toward
the
front
from

the
center
of
the

spring
This
is

done
to
reduce

spring
wind

up
and
to
decrease
the

arc

while
the
rear
wheel

swings
through
Thereby
minimizing

the

possibility
of
the
rear

suspension
effecting
vehicle

stability

Iso

clamp
devices
are
used
for

attaching
the

axle

housing
to
the

spring

The
leaf

springs
shock
absorbers
and
rear
axle

housing

are
mounted
on
rubber

bushings
at
each
end
to
minimize

noise
and
vibration
of
the
transmission
to
the
car

body

and

passenger

compartment

DESCRIPTION

The
Datsun
1200

series
new
models

adopt
a

hydraulic

brake

Dis
brake
or
two

leading
shoe

type
drum
brake
is

used
for
the
front

wheels
and

leading
trailing
shoe

type

drum
brake
is
used
for
the

rear
wheels

With

adoption
of
the

disc
brake

safety
at

high
speed

range
driving
is
further

improved

For
the

master

cylinder
either

single
type
or
tandem

type
is
used

There
are
two

types
of
tandem

type
master

cylinder
one
is
for
disc

brake
and
the
other
for
drum

brake
Under
the

standard

specifications
h0wever
the

tandem

type
master

cylinder
is

used
for
disc
brake
and

single
type
is
used
for
drum

brake

The
tandem

master

cylinder
provides
a
dual

brake

system
improving
safety

The
hand
brake
is
of

a
mechanical

type
which
brakes

the
rear

wheels

through
the
control
lever

and
steel
wire

The

control
lever
is
located
between
the
driver
and

assistant
seats
and
can
be

operated
easily

Bleeding
hydraulic

system

Bleeding
the

hydraulic
brake

system
deserves

much

attention
as
it
is

an
essential

factor
for

regular
service

brake

operation

As
a
matter
of

fact

during
the

brake
service
air
is

likely
to

creep
into
the
circuit
with

the
result
that

the

fluid
action
is

altered
and
the
brake

pedal
becomes

spongy

at
the
travel
end

Bleeding
should
be
carried
out
at
first
with

the
masler

cylinder
then
from
the

longest
line
from
the

master

cylinder
and
then
finish

up
with
the
shortest

Note

Always
clear

away

any

reason
Never

Thoroughly
wipe
the

present
so
that
the
