Pic. 4.17. Camry Rear Suspension: 1 - upper support; 2 – cylindrical spring; 3 - shock absorber; 4 - fastening of the lower arm; 5 - spherical sleeve
Rear suspension (pic. 4.17) car independent with McPherson struts includes transverse and longitudinal suspension arms. All models have an anti-roll bar on the rear suspension. The vehicle's wheel travel has been increased to ensure stability and comfort when driving on rough roads.
Suspension geometry when cornering
When a side force occurs, the load is distributed between the #1 and #2 suspension arms as shown below. This causes wheel toe-in which guarantees adequate rear suspension stability.

Suspension geometry when braking
When a fore-and-aft force occurs, the position of the suspension arms No. 1 and No. 2 provides the convergence shown below to ensure the stability of the vehicle.
