1 Answers
An automobile chassis consists of four major systems: the power train system, the running gear system, the steering system, and the braking system. Its function is to receive power from the engine, enable vehicle movement, and ensure the car operates normally according to the driver's control. The running gear system is composed of the frame, axles, suspension, and wheels. The steering system includes the steering control mechanism, steering gear, and steering linkage. Functions of each chassis component: 1. The power train system transmits engine power to the driving wheels; 2. The running gear system supports and installs various automotive components, transferring and bearing loads both on and under the vehicle to ensure normal operation; 3. The steering system ensures the vehicle moves in the direction selected by the driver; 4. The braking system enables vehicle deceleration, stopping, and ensures reliable parking.
