2. De Dion suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_dion_suspension

   De Dion rear axle. A de Dion axle is a form of non-independent automobile suspension. It is a considerable improvement over the swing axle, Hotchkiss drive, or live axle. [1] Because it plays no part in transmitting power to the drive wheels, it is sometimes called a "dead axle". [2]

3. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   A dependent suspension normally has a beam (a simple 'cart' axle) or a (driven) live axle that holds wheels parallel to each other and perpendicular to the axle. When the camber of one wheel changes, the camber of the opposite wheel changes in the same way (by convention, on one side, this is a positive change in the camber, and on the other ...

4. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   The upper chuck lowers to make contact with the upper bead. The tire is inflated to the set point pressure. The load wheel advances to contact the tire and apply the set loading force. The spindle drive accelerates the tire to the test speed. Once speed, force, and pressure are stable, load cells measure the force exerted on the load wheel by ...

5. Radius rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_rod

   A radius rod (also called a radius arm, torque arm, torque spring, and torsion bar) is a suspension link intended to control wheel motion in the longitudinal (fore-aft) direction. The link is connected (with a rubber or solid bushing) on one end to the wheel carrier or axle, on the other to the chassis or unibody of the vehicle. Radius rods are ...

6. Unsprung mass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsprung_mass

   Unsprung mass is a consideration in the design of a vehicle's suspension and the materials chosen for its components. Beam axle suspensions, in which wheels on opposite sides are connected as a rigid unit, generally have greater unsprung mass than independent suspension systems, in which the wheels are suspended and allowed to move separately.

8. Swing axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_axle

   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 uneven road surfaces independently, thus enabling the vehicle's wheels to maintain better ...
