2. 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.

3. Leaf spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf_spring

   Unlike coil springs, leaf springs also locate the rear axle, eliminating the need for trailing arms and a Panhard rod, thereby saving cost and weight in a simple live axle rear suspension. A further advantage of a leaf spring over a helical spring is that the end of the leaf spring may be guided along a definite path.

4. Chevrolet Suburban - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Suburban

   Based on the same GMT T1XX platform as the Silverado 1500, the Suburban distinguished itself by swapping that truck's live axle and leaf springs for an independent rear multilink suspension setup with coil springs, thus lowering the floor of the vehicle and creating more room, in both the cargo area and the second- and third-row seats.

5. Chevrolet C/K (third generation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_C/K_(third...

   Rear suspension (marketed as Load Control by GM) was dual-stage multi-leaf springs supporting a live rear axle, replacing the coil-spring configuration of the previous two generations. To further stabilize the rear axle under loads or acceleration, [9] the rear shock absorbers were placed asymmetrically from one another (on each side of the ...

6. Double wishbone suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_wishbone_suspension

   In many racing cars, the springs and dampers are relocated inside the bodywork. The suspension uses a bellcrank to transfer the forces at the knuckle end of the suspension to the internal spring and damper. This is then known as a "push rod" if bump travel "pushes" on the rod (and subsequently the rod must be joined to the bottom of the upright ...

7. Independent suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_suspension

   The AC Cobra is an example of a transverse, multi-leaf steel spring suspension that uses the leaf spring as the upper suspension arm. Alternatively, the 1963 Corvette's rear suspension is an example where the transverse leaf spring is used only as a ride spring. In both examples, the leaf spring is centrally mounted, preventing displacement of ...
