It is a typical rear suspension for a typical road car. It has a lower control arm connected to the hub assembly with a bushing. It has a camber arm at the top, which is a fairly thin piece of metal shaped like a (wave?) leaf thing. It is all connected to a subframe. This subframe is bolted to the main chassis. This car is not a monocoque design.
Spring and dampener is connected to the lower control arm with a bushing. Notice that this vehicle's rear camber is not controlled at the center end of the lower control like most vehicles. I think it is adjusted on the camber arm. (I couldn't reach to see the other end of it)
The sway bar is connected to the sway bar link which is connected to the hub assembly.
This is the front suspension assembly. Here you can see the it still has original Toyota CV boot. (pretty awesome, knowing that no dirt or anything has got in!) I find it strange that it says this car has a double wishbone suspension set up in the magazine ads, but I only see one wishbone...
