  2. Self-levelling suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-levelling_suspension

    [8] [9] This early attempt was an important step on the road to self-leveling, even if a full load would cause the whole car to lower evenly, rather than maintain height. In 1957, Cadillac introduced the Eldorado Brougham, a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud competitor, featuring a new Air suspension with a self leveling feature. [10]

  3. Active suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_suspension

    An active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that uses an onboard control system to control the vertical movement of the vehicle's wheels and axles relative to the chassis or vehicle frame, rather than the conventional passive suspension that relies solely on large springs to maintain static support and dampen the vertical wheel movements caused by the road surface.

  4. Ride height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_height

    The suspension detects the load via mechanical or electronic means and raises or lowers the vehicle, by inflating cylinders in the suspension to lift the chassis higher. [4] Vehicles not equipped with self-leveling will pitch down at one end when laden; this adversely affects ride, handling, and aerodynamic properties.

  5. Ford Expedition - Wikipedia

    A new, quieter, mechanical Nivomat adaptive hydraulic load-leveling suspension system was available, in place of the adaptive pneumatic air-ride load-leveling suspension. When properly equipped, the Expedition continued to offer top-end towing capability with a braked trailer towing capacity of 9,200 pounds (4,200 kg).

  6. Car suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

    If suspension is externally controlled, then it is a semi-active or active suspension — the suspension is reacting to signals from an electronic controller. For example, a hydropneumatic Citroën will "know" how far off the ground the car is supposed to be, and constantly resets to achieve that level, regardless of load.

  7. Height adjustable suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_adjustable_suspension

    Height adjustable suspension is a feature of certain automobile suspension systems that allow the motorist to vary the ride height or ground clearance. This can be done for various reasons including giving better ground clearance over rough terrain, a lower ground clearance to improve performance and fuel economy at high speed, [1] or for stylistic reasons.
