2. Strut bar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strut_bar

   A strut bar, strut brace, or strut tower brace (STB) is an automotive suspension accessory on a monocoque or unibody chassis to provide extra stiffness between the strut towers. With a MacPherson strut suspension system where the spring and shock absorber combine in one suspension unit, which also replaces the upper control arm, the entire ...

3. Torsion bar suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_bar_suspension

   One end of a long metal bar is attached firmly to the vehicle chassis; the opposite end terminates in a lever, the torsion key, mounted perpendicular to the bar, that is attached to a suspension arm, a spindle, or the axle. Vertical motion of the wheel causes the bar to twist around its axis and is resisted by the bar's torsion resistance. The ...

4. 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.

5. Watt's linkage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt's_linkage

   Watt's linkage consists of three bars bolted together in a chain. The chain of bars consists of two end bars and a middle bar. The middle bar is bolted at each of its ends to one of the ends of each outer bar. The two outer bars are of equal length, and are longer than the middle bar. The three bars can pivot around the two bolts.

6. Trailing-arm suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailing-arm_suspension

   A trailing-arm suspension, also referred to as trailing-link, is a form of vehicle suspension.In a motor vehicle it places one or more horizontal arms (or "links") perpendicular to and forward of the axle on the chassis or unibody, which are connected to the axle or wheels with pivot joint(s).

7. Independent suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_suspension

   The anti-roll bar has some yellow paint on it. Independent suspension is any automobile suspension system that allows each wheel on the same axle to move vertically (i.e. reacting to a bump on the road) independently of the others. This is contrasted with a beam axle or deDion axle system in which the wheels are linked. "Independent" refers to ...

8. Chapman strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapman_strut

   MacPherson's strut took advantage of the unitary car bodies appearing in new factories after World War II: the strut requires a high top mounting point, which would be difficult to arrange for a ladder chassis, but is also advantageous for unitary construction as it distributes suspension loads over a greater volume of the bodyshell. New car ...

9. Dual ball joint suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_ball_joint_suspension

   The two arms, the spindle, and the body, form a four-bar link.Use of the linkage at the lower suspension connection of either a MacPherson strut or a short long arms suspension readily gives an effective virtual ball joint outboard of the spindle, which is very useful for a suspension designer, allowing negative scrub radius whilst allowing the ball joints to move in and thus out of the way of ...
