What is automotive suspension?

refers to the automobile suspension system between the tire and the vehicle body and a suspension spring support system of the entire composition. Suspension system should function is to support the body, improve the ride feeling, different suspension settings make drivers have different driving experience. Looks deceptively simple suspension system integrated a variety of forces determines the stability, comfort and safety of cars is one of the crucial components of modern cars.

1. Analytical automobile suspension noun

is a general term for all suspension means of frictional connection between the vehicle frame and axle or wheel, whose role is to transfer the role of the wheel and force and the twisting force between the frame and cushion the impact force to the vehicle frame or body by the uneven road, and the attenuation of the vibration caused thereby, to ensure that cars can travel smoothly.

A typical system configuration of an elastic suspension member, the guide mechanism and a damper and other components, as well as the structure of the individual blocks buffer, stabilizer and the like. Another elastic member in the form of leaf springs, air springs, coil springs and a torsion bar spring or the like, and use more modern car suspension coil spring and a torsion bar spring, limousine individual air spring is used.

a suspension system is important in the automobile assembly, it is the frame and wheels elastically linked to the relationship of the plurality of performance cars.

First, the non-independent suspension

non-independent suspension systems each wheel structure is characterized by a root integral axle connected to the wheel together with the axle via an elastic suspension system suspended below the frame or body. Non-independent suspension system has a simple structure, low cost, high strength, easy maintenance, traffic in small changes in wheel alignment advantages, but the comfort and the steering stability are poor.

Second, the independent suspension

the wheel independent suspension system on each side are individually suspended by the elastic suspension system frame or body below. Its advantages are: light weight, reducing the impact received by the vehicle body, and improves the adhesion of the ground wheels; available small spring stiffness of softer, improve the comfort of the car; the engine can be lowered position, the center of gravity cars also reduced so improve vehicle driving stability; beat separate left and right wheels, independent of each other, can be reduced and vibration of the vehicle body is inclined. However, independent suspension system, there is a complex structure, high cost and inconvenience of maintenance shortcomings.
