2. Coilover - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coilover

   Coilovers are used in double wishbone suspension systems, [2] and are often a component of MacPherson struts. [3] Two of the main types of coilovers are full coilovers and slip-on coilovers. Full coilovers are matched up with a shock absorber from the factory, while with slip-on coilovers, the dampers and springs are bought separately and then ...

3. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   Unlike a shock absorber, a strut has a reinforced body and stem. Struts are subjected to multidirectional loads, while a shock absorber only damps vibration, only receiving a load along its axis. Struts and shock absorbers have a different way of attachment. Shock absorbers are mounted through rubber or urethane bushings to the frame and ...

4. MacPherson strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut

   The strut will usually carry both the coil spring, on which the body is suspended, and the shock absorber, which is usually in the form of a cartridge mounted within the strut (see coilover). The strut can also have the steering arm built into the lower outer portion. The whole assembly is very simple and can be pre-assembled into a unit.

5. Strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strut

   Strut is a common name in timber framing for a support or brace of scantlings lighter than a post. Frequently struts are found in roof framing from either a tie beam or a king post to a principal rafter. Struts may be vertically plumb or leaning (then called canted, raking, or angled) and may be straight or curved.

6. Double wishbone suspension - Wikipedia

   Later on, in 1951, Ford Company decided to use the MacPherson strut on small production cars, the English Ford Consul and Ford Zephyr.[2] Thus, the double wishbone was applied early in automobile history and there is no genetic relationship between MacPherson strut and double wishbone suspension.

7. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   The main reason for the difference is due to the different design goals between front and rear suspension, whereas suspension is usually symmetrical between the left and the right of the vehicle. The method of determining anti-dive or anti-squat depends on whether suspension linkages react to the torque of braking and accelerating.
