Performance Cars

These car suspension systems include:

The suspension system - setup that supports weight, absorbs and dampens shock and helps maintain tire contact as usual for car suspensions system.

The frame – It is a structural, load-carrying component that supports the car's engine and body, which are in turn supported by the suspension for a car suspension system.

The tires & wheels –These are the components that make vehicle motion possible by way of grip and/or friction with the road to make a stable car suspension system.

The steering system – This is a mechanism that enables the driver to guide and direct the vehicle. This is mandatory for any car suspension system. Nowadays, people are inclined towards the power steering system.

So the car suspension is just one of the major systems in any vehicle.

Now, it is time to look at the 3 fundamental components of any car suspension. They are springs, dampers and anti-sway bars.


Springs

Today's springing systems are based on one of four basic designs:

Coil springs - This is the most common type of spring a heavy-duty torsion bar coiled around an axis. Coil springs compress and expand to absorb the motion of the wheels.

Coil springs – It kills the horizontal unwanted motion of wheels in the car suspension system.

Leaf springs - This type of spring consists of several layers of metal bound together to act as a single unit. Leaf springs were first used on horse-drawn carriages and were found on most American automobiles car suspension systems until 1985. They are still used today on most trucks and heavy-duty vehicles.

Torsion bars - Torsion bars use the twisting properties of a steel bar to provide coil-spring-like performance for a car suspension.

Air springs - Air springs, which consist of a cylindrical chamber of air positioned between the wheel and the car's body, use the compressive qualities of air to absorb wheel vibrations. This component changed the fate of the car suspension system.

There is extensive research going on under this area. Companies are striving hard to manufacture a good quality car suspension system for the next generation cars.
