What Does Adjustable Suspension Stiffness Mean?
1 Answers
Adjustable suspension stiffness refers to the ability to modify the comfort level of a vehicle's suspension. The suspension is the collective term for all the force-transmitting connecting devices between the car's frame and axles. Its function is to transmit forces and torques between the wheels and the frame, cushion the impact from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, and reduce the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. Adjusting the suspension stiffness is achieved by controlling the adjustment valve on the shock absorber through a control unit, thereby altering the internal hydraulic circulation of the shock absorber to change its damping coefficient. The suspension stiffness adjustment modes typically include: Normal, Sport, and Comfort modes.
