Description of the rear suspension design (Renault Scenic 1)

Depending on the engine type, RENAULT MEGANE vehicles can be equipped with two types of rear axle. Vehicles with engines up to 90 hp are equipped with a rear axle with longitudinal levers and independent wheel suspension (see top of illustration 13.0). The trailing arms are attached to the trailing arms with silent blocks that do not require maintenance.

The rear suspension is sprung by two torsion bars mounted on the axle beam and two separate shock absorbers. The anti-roll bar reduces roll on turns.

Models with a power of 90 hp and more and SCENIC cars have a rear axle whose cross beam is a combination of two articulated torsion bars. The longitudinal arms are connected to each other by an L-shaped beam, which also acts as an anti-roll bar (see bottom of illustration 13.0). The advantage of this type of rear axle is increased lateral stability, better suspension and driving comfort.
The rear wheel hub bearings are pressed into the brake drums. On vehicles with rear disc brakes, the brake drums are located on the brake disc. The hub bearings have long-term (eternal) lubrication and do not require maintenance.
