What kind of suspension does a Mitsubishi Magna have?
In terms of suspension, Magna’s forward comprised MacPherson struts front design and, at the rear, a three-link torsion ray axle with coil springs (especially, a torsion ray axle, operating by two trailing hands and a Panhard rod). The wagons ran a four-link beam axle with coil springs. Between 1985 and 1990, MMAL sold almost 209,000 Magnas.
