2. Twist-beam rear suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist-beam_rear_suspension

   The front of the H attaches to the body via rubber bushings, and the rear of the H carries each stub-axle assembly, on each side of the car. The cross beam of the H holds the two trailing arms together, and provides the roll stiffness of the suspension, by twisting as the two trailing arms move vertically, relative to each other.

3. Multi-link suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-link_suspension

   Consequently, they react to loads along their own length, in tension and compression, but not in bending. Some multi-links do use a trailing arm, control arm or wishbone, which has two bushings at one end. On a front suspension one of the lateral arms is replaced by the tie-rod, which connects the rack or steering box to the wheel hub.

4. Trailing-arm suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailing-arm_suspension

   A "semi trailing-arm" (or semi trailing-link) is a common form of independent rear suspension on automobiles, particularly those with front wheel drive (where it allows a flatter rear floor pan). Leading arms are similar horizontal arms, perpendicular to the axle, but connecting the wheels to the vehicle structure via pivot joints to the rear ...

5. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   Semi-trailing arm suspension; Swinging arm Transverse leaf springs when used as a suspension link, or four-quarter elliptics on one end of a car are similar to wishbones in geometry, but are more compliant. Examples are the front of the original Fiat 500, then Panhard Dyna Z, and the early examples of Peugeot 403, and the backs of AC Ace and AC ...

6. Torsion bar suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_bar_suspension

   One end of a long metal bar is attached firmly to the vehicle chassis; the opposite end terminates in a lever, the torsion key, mounted perpendicular to the bar, that is attached to a suspension arm, a spindle, or the axle. Vertical motion of the wheel causes the bar to twist around its axis and is resisted by the bar's torsion resistance. The ...

7. Anti-roll bar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-roll_bar

   This allows the stiffness to be altered, for example by increasing or reducing the length of the lever arms on some systems, or by rotating a flat lever arm from a stiff edge-on position to a more flexible flat-side-on position on other systems. This lets a mechanic tune the roll stiffness for different situations without replacing the entire bar.
