  2. Watt's linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt's_linkage

    Both methods are intended to prevent relative sideways motion between the axle and body of the car. Watt's linkage approximates a vertical straight-line motion much more closely, and it does so while consistently locating the centre of the axle at the vehicle's longitudinal centreline, rather than toward one side of the vehicle as would be the ...

  3. List of auto parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_auto_parts

    This is a list of auto parts, which are manufactured components of automobiles. This list reflects both fossil-fueled cars (using internal combustion engines) and electric vehicles; the list is not exhaustive. Many of these parts are also used on other motor vehicles such as trucks and buses.

  4. Car suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

    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.

  5. Multi-link suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-link_suspension

    Multi-link suspension allows the auto designer the ability to incorporate both good ride and good handling in the same vehicle.. In its simplest form, the multi-link suspension is orthogonal—i.e., it is possible to alter one parameter in the suspension at a time without affecting anything else.

  6. Anti-roll bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-roll_bar

    An anti-sway or anti-roll bar is intended to reduce the lateral tilt (roll) of the vehicle on curves, sharp corners, or large bumps. Although there are many variations in design, the object is to induce a vehicle's body to remain as level as possible by forcing the opposite wheel's shock absorber , spring, or suspension rod in the same ...

  7. Independent suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_suspension

    It is very rare on modern cars, the Corvette and a few Volvo models being examples. [4] In the past it was more widely used in many Triumphs . The Herald , Vitesse , Spitfire , and GT6 all used a rear transverse leaf spring, as well as the 1995-98 Volvo 960/S90/V90 and a rare Swedish sports car incorporating the Volvo 960 rear suspension called ...

  8. Panhard rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhard_rod

    The Panhard rod is a simple device designed to prevent lateral movement. [2] It consists of a rigid bar running sideways in the same plane as the axle, connecting one end of the axle to the car body or chassis on the opposite side of the vehicle. The bar attaches on either end with pivots that let it swivel upwards and downwards only, limiting ...

  9. Beam axle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_axle

    With a beam axle, the camber angle between the wheels is the same regardless of its location in the travel of the suspension. A beam axle's location in the fore and aft directions is constrained by one of several suspension components, including trailing arms , semi-trailing arms, radius rods, and leaf springs .
