2. Chapman strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapman_strut

   The successful mid-engined Lotus 18 of 1960 no longer had the high bodywork behind the driver's seat on which to mount the tops of the struts. [24] Instead it used a wishbone rear suspension with wide-based tube lower wishbones carrying coilover shocks. The upper wishbones though were, once again in the style of the Chapman strut, using the ...

3. MacPherson strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut

   The upper part of the hub carrier is rigidly fixed to the bottom of the outer part of the strut proper. That slides up and down the inner part of it, which extends upwards directly to a mounting in the body shell of the vehicle. The line from the top mount of the strut to the bottom ball joint on the control arm gives the steering axis ...

4. Jaguar independent rear suspension - Wikipedia

   The side struts sit about horizontally in the live installation. Jaguar's independent rear suspension (IRS) unit has been a common component of a number of Jaguar production cars since 1961, passing through two major changes of configuration up to 2006 and last used in the Jaguar XK8 and Aston Martin DB7 .

5. Double wishbone suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_wishbone_suspension

   The upper arm is usually shorter to induce negative camber as the suspension jounces (rises), and often this arrangement is titled an "SLA" or "short, long arms" suspension. When the vehicle is in a turn, body roll results in positive camber gain on the lightly loaded inside wheel, while the heavily loaded outer wheel gains negative camber.

6. Control arm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_arm

   MacPherson strut suspension, track control arm coloured dark blue. In automotive suspension, a control arm, also known as an A-arm, is a hinged suspension link between the chassis and the suspension upright or hub that carries the wheel. In simple terms, it governs a wheel's vertical travel, allowing it to move up or down when driving over ...

7. Anti-roll bar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-roll_bar

   The MacPherson strut is a common form of strut suspension. This was not the first attempt at strut suspension, but in MacPherson's original patent, the anti-roll bar forms an integral and essential part of the suspension, in addition to its usual function in controlling body roll. A strut suspension like MacPherson's requires a hinged lower ...
