AUTOMOBILE SUSPENSION
SYSTEM
An automobile suspension
system is the mechanism that physically separates the wheels (or) axle assembly
from the body. The performance of the suspension system has been greatly
increased due to increasing vehicle capabilities.
Apart from your car's tires and seats, the suspension is the prime mechanism that separates your bum (arse for the American) from the road. It also prevents your car from shaking itself to pieces. No matter how smooth you think the road is, it's a bad, bad place to propel over a ton of metal at high speed. So we rely upon suspension. People who travel on underground trains wish that those vehicles relied on suspension too, but they don't and that's why the ride is so harsh. Actually it's harsh because underground trains have no lateral suspension to speak of. So as the rails deviate side-to-side slightly, so does the entire train, and it's passengers. In a car, the rubber in your tyre helps with this little problem.
