Is the Suspension the Same as the Shock Absorber?
1 Answers
Suspension is not the same as a shock absorber. Below are detailed introductions to both: 1. Suspension: The suspension system refers to all the force-transmitting connecting devices between the car's frame and the axle or wheels. Its function is to transmit forces and torques between the wheels and the frame, buffer the impact from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, and dampen the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. 2. Shock Absorber: The shock absorber is used to suppress the oscillations from the spring rebounding after absorbing shocks and impacts from the road surface. It is widely used in cars to accelerate the attenuation of frame and body vibrations, thereby improving the vehicle's ride comfort.
