What is a Car Suspension?
1 Answers
Car suspension refers to a connecting structural system between the car body, frame, and wheels. This system includes components such as shock absorbers, suspension springs, anti-roll bars, suspension subframes, lower control arms, longitudinal links, steering knuckle arms, rubber bushings, and connecting rods. When a car travels on the road, it experiences vibrations and impacts due to changes in the road surface. Some of these impact forces are absorbed by the tires, but the majority are absorbed by the suspension system between the tires and the car body. The function of the suspension system is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, while also cushioning the impacts transmitted from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body and dampening the resulting vibrations, ensuring smooth driving.
