Components of Suspension System

 

How does a car suspension work? | naijacarnews.com

1.     Control Arm: A movable lever that fastens the steering knuckle to the frame of the vehicle.

2.     Control Arm Busing: This is a sleeve which allows the control arm to move up and down on the frame.

3.     Strut Rod: Prevents the control arm from swinging forward and backwards.

4.     Ball Joints: A joint that allows the control arm and steering knuckle to move up and down and sideways as well

5.     Shock absorbers or Struts: prevents the suspension from bounce after spring compression and extension

6.     Stabilizer Bar: Limits body roll of the vehicle during cornering

7.     Spring: Supports the weight of the vehicle
