What to Do If the Car Suspension Is Too Hard?

[TaylorLee]

The solutions for a car suspension that is too hard are: 1. Reduce tire pressure to improve ride comfort, but avoid lowering it too much as it can damage the tires and pose safety risks to passengers; 2. Adjust the stiffness of the shock absorbers; 3. Install adjustable shock absorbers; 4. Use seat cushions—excessive stiffness can make passengers feel bumpy and uncomfortable, so car seat cushions can help improve comfort; 5. Break in the shock absorbers; 6. Slow down when encountering bumps, potholes, or muddy roads. The working principle of shock absorbers: When relative motion occurs between the frame or body and the axle due to vibration, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down. The oil inside the shock absorber chamber repeatedly flows from one chamber to another through different orifices. The friction between the orifice walls and the oil, as well as the internal friction between oil molecules, creates a damping force that converts the car's vibration energy into heat energy, which is then absorbed and dissipated into the air by the shock absorber.
