What are the three main components of a typical suspension system?
1 Answers
A typical suspension system consists of three main components: the elastic element, the guiding mechanism, and the shock absorber. The suspension is the general term for all force-transmitting connecting devices between the car's frame and axle. Its function is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, while also cushioning the impact transmitted from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, thereby reducing vibrations and ensuring smooth driving. The car suspension is a vehicle assembly that is difficult to perfect, as it must meet both the comfort requirements and the handling stability requirements of the car, which are often mutually contradictory, making it challenging to achieve both simultaneously.
