Suspension module

A suspension module for use with an independent suspension system includes a subframe having a pair of subframe rails and a bridge supparted therebetween. A pair of semi-trailing arms are pivotally attached to the subframe rails. Each semi-trailing arm includes an airbag support onto which an airbag is mounted. The airbags are positioned between the airbag supports and the subframe rails. A shock absorber extends from the semi-trailing arms to the subframe rails. A drive line brings rotational drive from a transmission to a carrier housing attached to the bridge of the subfram. A carden shaft extends from the carrier housing to spindles attached to the semi-trailing arms to transmit rotational drive from the carrier housing to the spindles.
