2. Steering damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_damper

   The steering damper or steering stabiliser is a damping device designed to inhibit an undesirable, uncontrolled movement or oscillation of a vehicle steering mechanism, a phenomenon known in motorcycling as the death wobble. The stabilizer absorbs unwanted energy in the side to side motion allowing the forks and shocks to work properly.

3. Beam axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_axle

   This is because it has fewer parts, less mechanical complexity, and more empty space between suspension components, axles, and the vehicle's frame or body. This makes it easier to work with when making modifications such as adding lift kits to increase body or running clearance, or installing larger diameter tires to increase ground/axle clearance.

4. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. [1] Suspension systems must support both road holding/handling and ride quality, [2] which are at odds with each other. The tuning of suspensions involves finding the right compromise.

5. MacPherson strut - Wikipedia

   Light blue: Steering gear tie rod or track rod Lower purple: Radius rod Upper purple: Coil spring Yellow: Tubular housing containing shock absorber or damper Lower green: Vehicle frame or unibody member. The MacPherson strut is a type of automotive suspension system that uses the top of a telescopic damper as the upper steering pivot. It is ...

6. Kingpin (automotive part) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingpin_(automotive_part)

   The steering kingpin is held in place by the forked ends of a beam axle on a Ford Model T. The kingpin (also king-pin, king pin and k pin) [1] [2] is the main pivot in the steering mechanism of a car or other vehicle. The term is also used to refer to part of a fifth wheel coupling apparatus for a semi and its trailer or other load.

7. Speed wobble - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_wobble

   If shimmy cannot be designed out of the system, a device known as a steering damper may be used, which is essentially a notch filter designed to damp the shimmy at its known natural frequency. [4] Shimmy is usually associated with the deformation of (rubber) tires. However, it can also be observed in nondeformable (e.g., steel) wheels.
