System of steering, suspension and running gear

 THE DIRECTION

Steering and suspension are essential to the safety and stability of your vehicle. Poor suspension leads to a loss of control which reduces the grip of the tires on the ground during avoidance or braking.

The purpose of the steering system is to make handling your vehicle easy and precise. It includes several components. Together, these components allow you to achieve safe driving. The operation of the system is rather complex; it reacts to movements of the steering wheel and then directs hydraulic or electric pressure to either side of the rack to move the wheels in the desired direction.

Here is a list of the main components of your vehicle's steering system:

the wheel

the steering column

the steering box or the rack

pitman arm

the steering bar

the tie rod

SUSPENSION

The suspension plays an important role in the handling of your car, as it provides contact between the tire and the road and also helps reduce braking distance.

Here is a list of the main components of your vehicle's steering system:

wheels and tires

Springs

shock absorbers and struts

the links

rings and bearings

ball joints
