    Why we require suspension system?
    • Supports the weight.

    • Provides a smooth ride.

    • Keeps tires in firm contact with the road.

    • Works with the steering system to keep the wheels in

    correct alignment.
    Basic Parts
    Control arm – movable lever that
    fastens the steering knuckle to the
    vehicle’s body or frame.

    Steering Knuckle – provides a spindle or


    bearing support for the wheel hub and
    wheel assembly.
    Springs – supports the weight of the
    vehicle; permits the control arm and
    Wheel to move up and down.

    Shock absorbers or dampeners – keeps


    the suspension from continuing to
    bounce after spring compression and
    extension.
    Control arm bushing – sleeves that
    allows the control arm to swing up and
    down on the frame.
    Non-independent suspension has both right and left wheel attached to the
    same solid axle. When one wheel hits a bump in the road, its upward
    movement causes a slight tilt of the other wheel.

    Independent suspension allows one wheel to move up and down with minimal
    effect to the other.
    Coil spring is the most common type of spring found on modern vehicles.

    Leaf springs are now limited to the rear of some cars.


    Suspension System
    Torsion bar (large spring rod)

    •One end is attached to the frame and the other to the lower control arm.
    •Up and down of the suspension system twists the torsion bar.
    •It will then try to return to its original shape, moving the control arm to its
    original place.
    Strut assembly (MacPherson struts)

    •Consists of a shock absorber, a coil spring, and an upper


    damper unit.

    • Strut assembly often replaces the upper control arm
