2015 Ford Mustang GT: Suspension Walkaround - Edmunds.com

2015 Ford Mustang GT: Suspension Walkaround June 29, 2015. Automotive journalists have griped about it for as long as I can remember. Some worked to retirement as generations of new Mustang came and went with a simple straight rear axle. Along the way Dodge and GM abandoned the pony car segment, leaving the Mustang to go it alone against imported sports coupes with independent rear suspension (IRS). And then the dormant Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro were resurrected in 2008 and 2010, respectively, and both reappeared on dealer showroom floors with IRS setups. It would have independent rear suspension, for real, across the board. And this would not be another half-baked 1999-2004 SVT Cobra scenario, a low-volume Mustang special with a compromised IRS system wedged under a car never designed for it. We wasted no time when the order desk opened and put money down on a 5.... Our 2015 Mustang GT is impressively composed on the road, and I for one was thoroughly blown away by its balance, grip and stability when I thrashed it about on a tight, bumpy autocross course and a high-speed racetrack on the same day. The front suspension of the 2015 Mustang has a few tricks of its own. But it also tells us something else: this is a twin-tube damper, not a monotube damper. Source: www.edmunds.com
