Automobile suspension is an elastic device connected to the frame and axle in the car. It is generally composed of elastic components, guiding mechanism, shock absorber and other components. The main task is to ease the impact of the uneven road surface to the frame, so as to improve the ride comfort. Common suspension has McPherson suspension, double fork arm suspension, multi - link suspension and so on.
The typical suspension system mainly includes the elastic element, the guiding mechanism and the shock absorber. Elastic elements and leaf spring, air spring, coil spring and torsion bar spring and other forms, and modern car suspension system uses coil spring and torsion bar spring, individual senior cars use air spring.
Type of suspension
According to the different suspension structure can be divided into independent suspension and non-independent suspension two kinds.
Independent suspension
Independent suspension can be simply understood as the left and right two wheels are not rigidly connected through the real shaft, the suspension components of one side of the wheel are only connected with the body; However, the two wheels of non-independent suspension are not independent of each other, and there is a solid shaft for rigid connection.
Non independent suspension
From the perspective of structure, the independent suspension can have better comfort and control because there is no interference between the two wheels; The two wheels of the non-independent suspension have a rigid connection, which will interfere with each other, but its structure is simple, and it has better rigidity and passability
