Saying that I'm not exceptionally mechanically minded is putting it mildly. Still, over the past 28 years of ownership, I've learned a bit about basic (superficial) maintenance on our S-Series cars. However, anything more than that is outside my comfort zone (and, per Dirty Harry " A man's got to know his limitations" lol).

Would anyone care to make a comparison for me?

What type rear suspension does my '96 Saturn SW2 employ?

How does it compare to either Semi-independent torsion beam or multi-link independent rear suspensions offered on more recent cars?

Thanks
