There are many suspension systems: more or less recent and more or less efficient, they are all adapted to a specific type of vehicle. What are the characteristics of the different suspensions of a vehicle? How does this mechanism essential to our comfort work? Avatacar gives you all the secrets of automotive suspension.
As its name suggests, the suspension system keeps the vehicle “in the air” above the wheels. It connects them to the chassis and guarantees their contact with the ground. The suspension works hand in hand with the shock absorbers. These are essential because without them the suspension could not ensure optimum driving comfort and safety. Indeed, when a vehicle drives on an uneven road with many bumps and dips, energy is created at the wheels. It then spreads throughout the vehicle. The suspension allows this energy to be channeled to prevent it from reverberating inside the cabin. If so, it would make driving very uncomfortable. The suspension system consists of several elements. Today almost all vehicles have a suspension equipped with springs. The role of the shock absorbers is to prevent the rebound effect caused by the energy coming from the wheels when it travels through these springs. The most common shock absorber is the hydraulic shock absorber.
