2. Control arm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_arm

   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 bumps, into potholes, or otherwise reacting to the irregularities of a ...

3. Car controls - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_controls

   Early cars had a hand lever to control the throttle, either directly, or by controlling an engine speed governor which in turn controlled both the throttle and timing. [6] In 1900 the Wilson-Pilcher car was introduced in Britain which had a hand controlled speed governor, and a foot throttle which could override the action of the governor.

4. Steering knuckle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_knuckle

   In the attached photograph of a double-wishbone suspension, the knuckle is shown attached to the upper control arm at the top and the lower control arm at the bottom. The wheel assembly is shown attached to the knuckle at its center point.

5. Bump steer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_steer

   Bump steer can become a problem when cars are modified by lowering or lifting, when a spring has become worn or broken causing a lower ride height, or if the vehicle is heavily loaded. When a car is lowered or lifted, the wheels' toe setting will change. When a car is lowered or lifted, it will have to be re-aligned to avoid excessive tire wear.

6. Multi-link suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-link_suspension

   This needs a pair of arms longitudinally separated. Front view: The arms have to control camber, particularly the way that the camber changes as the wheel moves up (into jounce, or bump) and down into rebound or droop. Side view: The arms have to transmit traction and braking loads, usually accomplished via a longitudinal link.

7. Anti-roll bar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-roll_bar

   Some anti-roll bars, particularly those intended for use in auto racing, are externally adjustable while the car is in the pit, whereas some systems can be adjusted in real time by the driver from inside the car, such as in Super GT. This allows the stiffness to be altered, for example by increasing or reducing the length of the lever arms on ...
