Vehicle Suspension Components
Vehicle suspension components consist of various parts that are designed to support the weight of the vehicle, absorb shocks from the road surface, and provide stability and control. These components include springs, shock absorbers, struts, control arms, sway bars, and bushings. Springs are responsible for supporting the weight of the vehicle and absorbing road shocks, while shock absorbers (also known as dampers) control the movement of the springs and help to maintain stable handling. Struts are a type of shock absorber that also provide structural support to the vehicle's suspension system. Control arms connect the suspension system to the vehicle's chassis and allow for movement of the wheels. Sway bars help to reduce body roll during cornering, while bushings are used to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness in the suspension system.
