2. Steering damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_damper

   The steering damper or steering stabiliser is a damping device designed to inhibit an undesirable, uncontrolled movement or oscillation of a vehicle steering mechanism, a phenomenon known in motorcycling as the death wobble. The stabilizer absorbs unwanted energy in the side to side motion allowing the forks and shocks to work properly.

3. Anti-roll bar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-roll_bar

   An anti-roll bar (roll bar, anti-sway bar, sway bar, stabilizer bar) is an automobile suspension part that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities. It links opposite front or rear wheels to a torsion spring using short lever arms for anchors.

4. Electronic stability control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control

   When ESC detects loss of steering control, it automatically applies the brakes to help steer the vehicle where the driver intends to go. Braking is automatically applied to wheels individually, such as the outer front wheel to counter oversteer , or the inner rear wheel to counter understeer .

5. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   This is necessary, since these trucks are intended to travel over very rough terrain at high speeds, and even become airborne at times. Without something to limit the travel, the suspension bushings would take all the force, when suspension reaches "full droop", and it can even cause the coil springs to come out of their "buckets", if they are ...

6. MacPherson strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut

   Light blue: Steering gear tie rod or track rod Lower purple: Radius rod Upper purple: Coil spring Yellow: Tubular housing containing shock absorber or damper Lower green: Vehicle frame or unibody member. The MacPherson strut is a type of automotive suspension system that uses the top of a telescopic damper as the upper steering pivot. It is ...

7. Cross-drive steering transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-drive_steering...

   A cross-drive steering transmission is a transmission, used in tracked vehicles to allow precise and energy-efficient steering. It consists of the following main parts: two identical single-stage planetary gearings, a differential, a hydraulic pump connected to the engine (similar to an oil pump of cars), a hydraulic motor powered by the ...

8. Quadrasteer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrasteer

   A GMC Sierra Denali equipped with Quadrasteer, rear steering angle. Quadrasteer is the name of a four wheel steering system developed by Delphi Automotive while under the ownership of General Motors for use in automobiles. It was available as an option on GM's full-size pickup trucks and 2500 Suburbans for model years 2002 through 2005. [1]

9. Torsion bar suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_bar_suspension

   A gun stabilizer must be used to compensate for the rocking motion. Due to the massive weight of a main battle tank, compared to an automobile, there is a much greater risk of breaking a torsion bar on sudden bumps or maneuvers, and if it is not replaced in short order the reduced suspension can affect the maneuverability of the vehicle, and in ...
