Six Components of a Car Suspension

• Why is there a suspension system in a car? It is
  to give support to the vehicle when it moves. It
  is a system made from different components, and
  each one has a specific function.
• It is the car suspension that makes it possible
  for the vehicle to turn when the steering wheel
  is rotated. Also, it absorbs the shocks when the
  car goes on the bumps or potholes.
• As mentioned earlier, there are several
  components of car suspension. However, the blog
  talks about some prominent subsystems.
• When any of these subsystems fails or
  malfunctions, it causes a problem to the security
  and comfort of the rider.

1. Frame

• The frame is the biggest component of the
  suspension system. It is called the structural
  skeleton because it carries the load as well as
  weight of the car and its components.
• Though it is a prominent part of the system, it
  is a complex system that has many other
  components as well.

2. Spring

• It is a metal coil that forms the central part of
  the suspension system. It absorbs the bumps and
  makes the ride comfortable. In the majority of
  the cars, you can find springs, but in some cars,
  metal rods are also used.

3. Wheels

• It is hard to believe, but wheels or tyres are
  also part of the suspension system. They are
  external components. When wheels touch the
  ground, they incur most of the impact. When you
  apply brakes, accelerate or corn, the wheels get
  a significant impact.
• Hence, it is vital to keep them in order.

4. Shock Absorbers

• They work alongside the springs and reduce the
  impact. They play an essential role by providing
  adequate support to the spring and reducing its
  motion.  Thus, the car doesnt bounce like a ball
  when it moves on the potholes or bumps.

5. Rods

• You can find several rods that link different
  components of the suspension system. These metal
  linkages make the system durable and rugged. They
  last long and sustain against the pressures of
  driving on bad roads.

6. Bushing or Bearings

• Bushings are the links between big components of
  the suspension system. They also enable the
  twisting and sliding actions.
• They dont need any lubrication as such but wear
  and tear happen eventually. The joints become
  loose after some time. Therefore, periodic
  maintenance is recommended.
• The health of the suspension system is important
  for smooth riding and road safety. Keep it fit
  and fine always.
