  2. Ride height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_height

    Ride height or ground clearance is the amount of space between the base of an automobile tire and the lowest point of the automobile, typically the bottom exterior of the differential housing (even though the lower shock mounting point may be lower); or, more properly, to the shortest distance between a flat, level surface, and the lowest part ...

  3. Breakover angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakover_angle

    β° = Breakover angle; C = Underside of chassis; W = Wheel; G = Ground; M = Midpoint of wheelbase Example of a vehicle at a significant breakover angle.. Breakover angle or rampover angle is the maximum possible supplementary angle (usually expressed in degrees) that a vehicle, with at least one forward wheel and one rear wheel, can drive over without the apex of that angle touching any point ...

  4. Clearance (civil engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearance_(civil_engineering)

    In civil engineering, clearance refers to the difference between the loading gauge and the structure gauge in the case of railroad cars or trams, or the difference between the size of any vehicle and the width/height of doors, the width/height of an overpass or the diameter of a tunnel as well as the air draft under a bridge, the width of a lock or diameter of a tunnel in the case of watercraft.

  5. Approach and departure angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approach_and_departure_angles

    [1] It is defined as the angle between the ground and the line drawn between the front tire and the lowest-hanging part of the vehicle at the front overhang. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Departure angle is its counterpart at the rear of the vehicle – the maximum ramp angle from which the car can descend without damage.

  6. Turning radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_radius

    Diagram showing the path of a driver performing a U-turn.A vehicle with a smaller turning diameter will be able to perform a sharper U-turn. The turning radius (alternatively, turning diameter or turning circle) of a vehicle defines the minimum dimension (typically the radius or diameter) of available space required for that vehicle to make a semi-circular U-turn without skidding.

  7. Allowance (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allowance_(engineering)

    the outer diameter of a pin may be ground to 0.0005 inches (0.013 mm) oversize because it is known that subsequent heat-treatment of the pin is going to cause it to shrink by 0.0005 inches (0.013 mm). A hole may be drilled 0.012 inches (0.30 mm) undersize to allow for the material that will be removed by subsequent reaming.
