Backed By Stability PT Cruiser handles the road with confidence.
Coil springs support the twist beam rear suspension.
Large oval trailing arm front eye bushings allow ample deflection in the fore-aft direction to dampen harshness effects. The rear suspension's transverse beam causes the tires to remain vertical relative to the road during cornering. This enhances rear tire cornering traction for good handling. The rear suspension's coil springs and jounce bumpers mount above the beam, in line with the wheel centerline to prevent after shake when the wheel hits a bump. 2001 Car of the Year.
