Suspension System Components and Design 1.0
Across
- 2. - Connects the stabilizer bar to the suspension.
- 4. - A combination of a shock absorber and a coil spring in one unit.
- 8. - Central part of the wheel that connects to the axle.
- 11. - Controls the forward and backward motion of the axle.
- 13. - Transmits power from the differential to the wheels and supports the vehicle’s weight.
- 16. - A suspension design combining a shock absorber and a spring into a single unit.
- 17. - Absorbs and stores energy to provide a smooth ride.
- 18. - A type of spring that uses twisting motion to absorb shocks.
Down
- 1. - Supports the rear axle and controls its movement.
- 3. - Cushions the connection between control arms and the vehicle frame.
- 4. (Anti-roll Bar) - Reduces body roll during cornering by connecting opposite wheels.
- 5. Arm - Connects the bottom of the suspension to the vehicle frame.
- 6. - Connects the suspension to the vehicle’s frame and allows for up and down movement.
- 7. - A type of spring made of multiple layers of metal, used in older and heavy-duty vehicles.
- 9. - Pivot point that allows the control arms to move while steering the vehicle.
- 10. - Cushions the joints and reduces friction between moving parts.
- 12. - Uses air pressure to support the vehicle and provide a variable ride height.
- 14. Arm - Connects the top of the suspension to the vehicle frame.
- 15. - Dampens the vibrations and jolts from the road.
