2. Active Body Control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Body_Control

   Mercedes-Benz has been experimenting with these capabilities for automobile suspension since the air suspension of the 1963 600 and the hydropneumatic (fluid and air) suspension of the 1974 6.9. ABC was only offered on rear-wheel drive models, as all-wheel drive 4MATIC models were available only with Airmatic semi-active air suspension , with ...

3. Self-levelling suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-levelling_suspension

   Land Rover developed a self-levelling rear suspension using the "Boge Hydromat" self-energising hydraulic strut. [13] Of similar construction to a hydraulic shock absorber the strut used the motion of the suspension travelling over bumps to pump itself back up to a pre-set height. It was sufficiently powerful to regain up to 85% of normal ride ...

4. Speed bump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_bump

   While speed bumps generally slow cars to 10–15 km/h (5–10 mph), humps slow cars to 25–30 km/h (15–20 mph). The narrow traverse distance of speed bumps often allows vehicles to pass over them at high speed with only mild disturbance to the wheels and suspension, and hardly affecting the vehicle cab and its occupants.

5. Swing axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_axle

   Swing axle suspension characteristics: Camber change on bumps, "jacking" on rebound. A swing axle is a simple type of independent suspension designed and patented by Edmund Rumpler in 1903 for the rear axle of rear wheel drive vehicles. This was a revolutionary invention in automotive suspension, allowing driven (powered) wheels to follow ...

6. Independent suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_suspension

   Mercedes-Benz C111; cutaway view of suspension. A multi-link suspension is a type of vehicle suspension design typically used in independent suspensions, using three or more lateral arms, and one or more longitudinal arms. A wider definition considers any independent suspensions having three control links or more multi-link suspensions.

7. Active suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_suspension

   An active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that uses an onboard control system to control the vertical movement of the vehicle's wheels and axles relative to the chassis or vehicle frame, rather than the conventional passive suspension that relies solely on large springs to maintain static support and dampen the vertical wheel movements caused by the road surface.
