  2. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

    Spring-based shock absorbers commonly use coil springs or leaf springs, though torsion bars are used in torsional shocks as well. Ideal springs alone, however, are not shock absorbers, as springs only store and do not dissipate or absorb energy. Vehicles typically employ both hydraulic shock absorbers and springs or torsion bars. In this ...

  3. Torsion bar suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_bar_suspension

    Torsion bar suspension inside Leopard 2 Schematic of a front axle highlighted to show torsion bar. A torsion bar suspension, also known as a torsion spring suspension, is any vehicle suspension that uses a torsion bar as its main weight-bearing spring. One end of a long metal bar is attached firmly to the vehicle chassis; the opposite end ...

  4. Coilover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coilover

    Roll stiffness: By fitting springs with a higher spring rate, roll stiffness can be increased. Likewise, a lower spring rate results in increased roll. Ride height: By using threaded spring seats or threaded bottom brackets, [10] the ride height of the vehicle can be raised or lowered. The bottom mount is a threaded sleeve with two adjuster ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

    Horse-drawn carriages and Ford Model T used this system, and it is still used today in larger vehicles, mainly mounted in the rear suspension. [5] Leaf springs were the first modern suspension system, and, along with advances in the construction of roads, heralded the single greatest improvement in road transport until the advent of the ...

  6. Height adjustable suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_adjustable_suspension

    Height adjustable suspension is a feature of certain automobile suspension systems that allow the motorist to vary the ride height or ground clearance. This can be done for various reasons including giving better ground clearance over rough terrain, a lower ground clearance to improve performance and fuel economy at high speed, [1] or for stylistic reasons.

  7. Coil spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coil_spring

    A coil spring is a mechanical device that typically is used to store energy and subsequently release it, to absorb shock, or to maintain a force between contacting surfaces. It is made of an elastic material formed into the shape of a helix that returns to its natural length when unloaded.

  8. Self-levelling suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-levelling_suspension

    This puts the weight back onto the front end of the vehicle, which lets the brakes do their job more effectively. [3] There is an inherent conflict in suspension design - if the springs are soft, the car will be comfortable but dramatically affected by load. [4] If the springs are hard, the car will be uncomfortable, but less affected by load. [5]

  9. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

    1972 BMW E12 5-series released with optional hydropneumatic rear suspension. Coil springs are retained, though softer than conventional coils for the same car. This system was offered in most BMW 5-, 6-, and 7-series models, as well as the E30 Touring (station wagon/estate), into the 1990s when it was replaced with an air suspension. Until late ...
