2. Pull-rod suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull-rod_suspension

   Pull-rod suspension and push-rod suspension refer to a specialised type of automotive suspension system which is largely based on a double-wishbone system, incorporating elements of the commonly used MacPherson strut. [1] In cars, suspension refers to the system by which the vehicle maintains contact between all of its wheels and the ground.

3. MacPherson strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut

   Despite the drawbacks, the MacPherson strut set-up is still used on some high performance cars, because they tend to have relatively small suspension travel, and so do not have the same kinematic problems. Up until the 1989 model year (964), Porsche 911 used a similar strut design that did not have coil springs, using torsion bar suspension ...

4. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   Commonly, springs are mounted on control arms, swing arms or some other pivoting suspension member. Consider the example above, where the spring rate was calculated to be 500 lbs/inch (87.5 N/mm), if one were to move the wheel 1 in (2.5 cm) (without moving the car), the spring more than likely compresses a smaller amount.

5. Monroe (automobile) - Wikipedia

   Monroe was president, while Durant was vice-president. There was a cross-stockholding arrangement between the Monroe and Chevrolet companies. Construction of the Monroe cars occurred in a plant formerly used by Chevrolet in Flint, and the Chevrolet company undertook to distribute the new Monroe automobile.

6. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   Pneumatic and hydraulic shock absorbers are used in conjunction with cushions and springs. An automobile shock absorber contains spring-loaded check valves and orifices to control the flow of oil through an internal piston (see below). [1] One design consideration, when designing or choosing a shock absorber, is where that energy will go.

7. Dual pivot steering geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_pivot_steering_geometry

   Dual-pivot steering geometry (also known as virtual pivot) is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car designed to reduce or eliminate scrub radius by moving the pivot point of the king pin outboard, in order to improve steering precision and straight line stability. [1] [2]
