Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two.[1] Suspension systems must support both roadholding/handling and ride quality,[2] which are at odds with each other. The tuning of suspension involves finding the right compromise. It is important for the suspension to keep
the road wheel in contact with the road
surface as much as possible, because all
the road or ground forces acting on the
vehicle do so through the contact patches
of the tires. The suspension also protects
the vehicle itself and any cargo or luggage
from damage and wear. The design of
front and rear suspension of a car may
be different.
Different between front and rear
suspension.
Air suspension, hydraulic suspension, sport suspension, FWD, RWD, AWD suspension.
