2004 SUSPENSION
Rear - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION Low-mount multilink independent suspension offers handling stability and riding
comfort comparable to passenger cars. Crossmembers with an elastic structure are
used to reduce road noise, making the vehicle quieter.
The arrangement of the arms, coil springs, and shock absorbers is designed to
provide a wide luggage space.
The differential case is mounted on the crossmember in AWD models to reduce the
weight under the springs and improve the suspension tracking of the road surface. CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM Fig. 1: Rear Suspension Construction Diagram (FWD)

REAR SUSPENSION DIAGNOSIS INTRODUCTION TO REAR SUSPENSION DIAGNOSIS If the rear suspension is faulty, the vehicle will not run straightforward or noise will
occur. Incorrect wheel alignment, malfunction of shock absorber, stabilizer bar, coil
spring, control arms or worn or out-of-balance will cause these problems. REAR SUSPENSION DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If you follow them carefully, you
will be sure that you have exhausted most of the possible ways to find a rear
suspension fault.
1. Gather information from the customer.
2. Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.
3. Find the malfunction by following the Symptom Chart.
4. Verif
y malfunction is eliminated.

right wheel during understeering when the vehicle is at right turn. Furthermore, the
system also controls the engine if the accelerator pedal is depressed excessively. DURING NORMAL BRAKING Fig. 11: During Normal Braking Diagram

The brake fluid flows from the master cylinder to the cut valve and the inlet valve
to supply fluid pressure to the relevant wheels.

wheel cylinders to the buffer chamber. This causes the wheel cylinder fluid pressure
to decrease. Then the system activates the pump motor to return the brake fluid
from the buffer chamber to the hydraulic unit reservoir.

The system closes the inlet and outlet valves to hold the fluid pressure in the wheel
cylinders. The brake fluid, which is pumped from the hydraulic unit reservoir, is
supplied to the inlet valve. At this time, excessive fluid is returned through the relie
