Across
- 3. suspension movement at the rear wheels produced by torque during acceleration
- 8. lateral rotation produced by steering forces during cornering
- 10. bushings designed with voids in the bonded elastomer to allow a controlled amount of movement
- 13. bonded elastomer bushings that provide maximum support while keeping vibrations to a minimum
- 14. a spring design that may be of single or multiple layers with eyes formed at the ends
- 16. a ball joint that acts as a stabilizing pivot point and does not carry significant vehicle load
- 17. any component or mass not supported by the suspension like wheels and tires
- 18. the extension stroke of a shock absorber or suspension
- 19. any mass or vehicle component supported by the springs
Down
- 1. a suspension component that performs dampening functions and maintains wheel alignment
- 2. a popular lightweight strut suspension design that eliminates the upper control arm
- 3. a bar that acts as a torsion spring to reduce body roll during vehicle cornering
- 4. a bar used to maintain alignment of a solid axle housing and control lateral forces
- 5. a spring formed from round spring steel bars wrapped in a series of circular wraps
- 6. the compression stroke of a shock absorber or suspension
- 7. suspension movement at the front produced by braking and deceleration
- 9. an independent suspension design taking its name from triangular shaped control arms
- 11. a wedge separation fork tool that often damages the dust boot when used to separate a ball joint
- 12. straight steel twisting bars mounted between the frame and the control arm
- 15. a condition where shock absorber performance is greatly reduced due to air bubbles or foam
