2. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   Historically, the first mass-production car with front-to-rear mechanical interconnected suspension was the 1948 Citroën 2CV. Suspension in the 2CV was extremely soft — the longitudinal link was making pitch softer, instead of making roll stiffer. It relied on extreme anti-dive and anti-squat geometries to compensate for that.

3. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   Shock absorbers are an important part of car suspension designed to increase comfort, stability and overall safety. The shock absorber, produced with precision and engineering skills, has many important features. The most common type is a hydraulic shock absorber, which usually includes a piston, a cylinder, and an oil-filled chamber.

4. Independent suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_suspension

   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 the JC Indigo. [1]: 4 This type of suspension should not be confused with earlier, rigid axle applications such as those used on early Ford cars.

5. Twist-beam rear suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist-beam_rear_suspension

   The twist-beam rear suspension (also torsion-beam axle, deformable torsion beam, or compound crank) is a type of automobile suspension based on a large H- or C-shaped member. The front of the H attaches to the body via rubber bushings , and the rear of the H carries each stub-axle assembly, on each side of the car.

6. Swing axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_axle

   Second-generation Corvairs (1965–1969) used a true independent rear suspension (IRS) system. The Hillman Imp designers learned from the problems with the Corvair, having crashed [4] one at a relatively low speed, and they designed their rear-engined car with a semi-trailing arm suspension at the rear. To attain correct handling balance, they ...

7. Self-levelling suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-levelling_suspension

   In the United States, William D. Allison developed Torsion-Level Suspension used on 1955-1956 model Packards. This was an interconnected suspension, with torsion bars that ran along each side of the frame, connecting the front wheel to the rear (on the same side).
